The Automotive Industry is an extremely dynamic field of business.
It is home to importers, car dealers, dealership organisations,
auto rental companies, auto damage repair businesses and parts
suppliers amongst others. In order to service this industry more
effectively, Van Benthem & Keulen has pulled together a team of
legal experts, who work frequently within this field under the
collective umbrella of the Automotive Sector Team.
Team members advise or initiate proceedings on behalf of clients in
matters covering a wide range of legal fields such as Contract Law,
Liability Law, Competition Law, Employment Law and Privacy
Regulations as they pertain to Consumer Goods. The Automotive
Sector Team works closely with an Advisory Council, composed of key
players within the Automotive Industry. This Council keeps the team
informed on current events as well as suggesting areas of the
industry that may require special attention. Where necessary, the
Council organises seminars for team members as part of an ongoing
programme of advice and assistance. Naturally, the Automotive
Sector Team members keep up to date with legal developments within
the industry, whether by case law or through new Statutory rules
and regulations. This not only enables them to speak the language
of the industry but also provides them with an expert knowledge of
the rules of engagement, qualities indispensable to the provision
of outstanding advice to our clients.
