It seems like manufacturers keep trying to find new ways around their obligations to dealers under franchise agreements and New York laws.

It is more important than ever to pay attention to these laws and understand how they protect your dealership.

A panel of experts will discuss the strengths of New York’s Franchise Law, challenges to it, and explain how you can best protect your dealership using tools in the existing Law.

Topics for Discussion:

  • How New York’s mediation system can work for dealers
  • Unfair franchise modifications, such as attempts to spin-off electric vehicles
  • Challenging the direct sales model through amendments
