Seyfarth's Franchise Group will present a Mini Webinar Series on Future of Automotive - Getting Back to Business. This two part series will cover the topics, Reopening Dealerships - Health & Safety Strategies for OEMs and Dealer Collaboration to Serve Stay-at-Home Customers

As you may have seen, we recently circulated a “Getting Back to Business” Update which highlights many of the key issues auto OEMs will likely face as the country and the Auto Industry works to reopen.

To help navigate the risks and issues, we are kicking off this mini webinar series that will share real-world insights, actionable takeaways, and potential challenges and risks. See below for additional details.
