The dealership industry is changing rapidly and there are many new opportunities, challenges, and disruptions on the horizon including autonomous vehicles, increasing regulatory oversight, changes in consumer demographics and purchasing behavior, and increased manufacturer involvement and control over dealer operations. And, like many other businesses, disputes occasionally arise between owners, employees, manufacturers or competitors that can have an adverse impact on business operations. These factors present numerous financial, legal and economic considerations for determining dealership value and quantifying potential damages arising from disruptions or disputes.
Join experts Adam Lawyer, Robert Davis, Stephen Dietrich, and Joseph Roesner to go under the hood and learn more about the current environment of auto dealership valuations, damage claims frequently occurring within dealerships, and the impact on the economics of dealership operations. The presentation will include insights, discussion, and examples among our presenters about valuation and damage considerations you should be aware of that are unique to the dealership industry.
