Precedent-setting automotive supply-chain experience

In MSSC, Inc. v. AirBoss Flexible Products Co., Warner secured a landmark Michigan Supreme Court victory that reshaped automotive supply-contract law. The Court clarified that suppliers are not necessarily obligated to fulfill future purchase releases when an agreement lacks a clear quantity commitment — giving suppliers greater ability to decline new releases or negotiate pricing and affecting how supply agreements are drafted and enforced across the industry. Following that ruling, Warner secured a $3.5 million judgment plus interest for AirBoss, recovering losses incurred while it had been compelled to continue shipping products at below-cost prices.
