From the assembly line to the road, we provide trusted counsel for every stage of the journey.
Many types of businesses work together to keep the automotive industry moving forward—from manufacturers, dealerships, repair shops, specialty parts suppliers, and quick oil-change operations to battery developers, charging infrastructure companies, fleet operators, technology providers, and energy partners. Each face unique legal challenges. Shumaker combines deep industry knowledge with a full suite of legal capabilities to help automotive businesses navigate those challenges and keep their operations running smoothly. Attorneys from across our 12 service lines come together to provide trusted legal counsel to this specialized industry—including guidance on wage and overtime compliance for shops and manufacturers, patent law services for parts suppliers looking to protect their designs, and day-to-day corporate guidance for car dealerships. We also understand the unique opportunities and concerns inherent to the electric vehicle (EV) market and we help these clients navigate tax, supply chain, and regulatory hurdles.
Committed to staying up to date on automotive trends, our team frequently attends conferences such as the Specialty Equipment Market Association (SEMA) Show to ensure that we continually provide cutting-edge legal counsel for this evolving industry.
