As the prominence of autonomous and electric vehicles grows ever larger, actors in the automobile industry should shine a light on their contractual arrangements to ensure they are prepared for these coming changes. Critical documents such as production purchasing terms will form the foundation on which companies progress through these dramatic changes, so actors must ensure their terms are appropriate and competitive in the current market.
This session provides an exploration of the building blocks of commercial contracts, delivering an overview of the foundational principles applicable to contracts in the automotive sector and highlighting core considerations and pitfalls when negotiating those contracts.
