Automotive

An industry in transformation. New engines, new forms of use, new competitors and evolving mobility preferences of the young demand great flexibility and future-oriented strategies of the automotive industry. Important issues in that process, on which we have long advised manufactures, suppliers, wholesalers or industry associations, are, for example, electric mobility, digitalisation (connected car) and coping with crisis-originated supply chain challenges. We also advise on the legal conditions for autonomous driving.

OPPENLÄNDER advises car manufacturers, suppliers and associations in the classic areas of anti-trust law, corporate law, M&A and research and development, sales and production cooperations. We represent companies in litigation (e.g., anti-trust compensation or manager liability) and in official proceedings (e.g., market surveillance bodies, anti-trust offices, registration authorities). We also support, with in-depth know-how and experience, companies and associations in the industry in the course of internal enquiries.
