Operating from a fully integrated national and international platform, Sheppard represents established OEMs, new market entrants, electric and zero-emission vehicle manufacturers, autonomous and connected vehicle developers and supply chain partners.
Our expertise spans the entire vehicle lifecycle—from R&D and manufacturing to distribution, retail and aftersales compliance. We guide clients through franchise and dealer disputes, direct sales challenges, warranty and product liability litigation, employment matters, supply chain and privacy issues and regulatory compliance. Our team excels in navigating franchise laws, dealer termination cases, direct-to-consumer sales litigation, and ADA compliance for automotive websites and platforms. We also address pressing trends such as electrification, connected technology, telematics, data privacy, autonomous vehicle regulation and new consumer sales models.
With combined experience in international trade and CFIUS, we advise on tariffs, sanctions, and cross-border production and distribution, offering a global perspective to support sourcing and market expansion.
