With deep roots in the heart of the U.S. automotive industry, Warner provides proactive, timely and cutting-edge legal counsel to auto suppliers throughout Detroit, North America and around the globe. Our attorneys are recognized leaders in every area of global automotive and mobility law. We understand the complex relationships between parts suppliers and vehicle manufacturers, and we stay on top of the laws, regulations and critical issues that are transforming this industry. From essential contract support and intellectual property protection to preemptive counsel on distressed suppliers, warranty and recall, litigation matters and corporate transactions, Warner’s multidisciplinary full service team anticipates and quickly responds to the challenges our clients face. Our extensive industry insight and deep supply chain experience, infused with the ability to quickly solve problems will keep your organization ahead of the curve.
“Supplier First and Supplier Only” for Automotive Supply Chain Matters
If your current law firm is representing large OEMs, there might be business conflicts of interest related to your specific needs, strategies and operations. As a policy matter, we were the first firm in Michigan to take the position that we would not represent original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) on supply chain disputes. Instead, we have long been focusing only on the interests of our automotive supply clients. We are deeply embedded in the industry, including with MEMA Original Equipment Suppliers (formerly known as the Original Equipment Suppliers Association or OESA) where we have served for more than a decade as antitrust counsel; as founders and leaders of MICHauto; as members of the Women’s Automotive Alliance; and as leaders for the Automotive Hall of Fame.

International Automotive Supply
Warner’s automotive attorneys have been keeping international auto suppliers ahead of the curve for decades.
Located in the heart of the North American automotive industry, Warner represents more than 200 domestic and international auto suppliers who do business in the U.S. We’re unique among automotive attorneys because we represent only auto suppliers – not manufacturers. As such, we have extensive cross-border and international experience with automotive supply issues. We know contract law, terms and conditions and the complex nature of the relationships between auto suppliers and manufacturers.
Several of our clients operate in both inside and outside of the U.S. Here are some examples of our experience with them:
- Lead outside counsel for the North American subsidiary of a German auto parts manufacturer in $250 million dispute with OEM and other matters
- Principal outside counsel for an automotive piston manufacturer and supplier to North America, South America, Europe and Asia on matters related to contracts, litigation and general business
- Legal counsel to the Original Equipment Suppliers Association
- Lead litigation counsel for a national automotive finance company; responsible for all commercial litigation in the eastern U.S.
- Counsel to U.S.-based global powertrain manufacturer in general corporate matters and in acquiring, developing, leasing and selling real estate
And because we’re a large corporate firm, our experience is vast and varied. Here are some examples that may appeal to auto parts suppliers with international business interests:
- Economic Development: We’ve drafted brownfield legislation and secured economic incentives for clients.
- Environmental: We’ve drafted solid waste management legislation and clean-up laws and have represented Fortune 100 clients with CERCLA and RCRA sites.
- Immigration: We were special immigration counsel in the sale of a U.S. company and when another company outsourced functions to Asia.
- Litigation: We’ve successfully represented suppliers and manufacturers in myriad disputes and have been recognized by Chambers USA as a top litigation firm.
- Labor and Employment: We’ve advised Fortune 100 companies on the design and administration of benefit plans.
