Mergers and Acquisitions For Dealerships
Our M&A practice supports dealership buyers and owners through every stage of a transaction. We evaluate targets, negotiate terms, draft purchase agreements, and coordinate with lenders and manufacturers to facilitate a smooth closing of deals.
Due Diligence and Risk Review
We review contracts, titles, employment issues, and liabilities to help clients make informed decisions about what they’re buying.
Negotiation and Purchase Agreements
We draft and negotiate purchase agreements that allocate risk, reflect the deal structure, and protect client capital.
Real Estate and Site Transactions
We handle purchases, sales, leasebacks, and long-term leases tied to dealership operations. Our team reviews zoning, environmental issues, and facility use to ensure your site supports both compliance and long-term growth.
Zoning and Land Use
We work with local authorities to resolve permit and zoning challenges that could delay or disrupt operations.
Lease Negotiation and Site Protection
We negotiate lease terms, tenant improvements, and protection clauses—especially in the event of ownership changes or property transfers.
