This is a transformative time for the automotive industry, both domestically and globally, as the world transitions to electric vehicles (EVs) and adopts autonomous driving technology. As a result, supply chains are realigning, new infrastructure is being built, manufacturing operations are undergoing massive retooling, and workforces are having to adapt and learn new skills.

Canadian companies are playing a pivotal role in this revolution, both as innovators of automotive technology and as providers of the necessary resources for batteries, including cobalt, lithium and copper.

To keep pace with this rate of change, those involved in the automotive industry, or affiliated with it, need to remain at the forefront of industry advancements by anticipating shifts in global supply chains, proactively developing necessary technology and leveraging opportunities for corporate growth while staying one step ahead of amendments to provincial, federal and international regulatory frameworks.

How we can help

Osler’s multidisciplinary team of industry experts can help you understand today’s evolving commercial and regulatory climates and ensure you capitalize on the evolving opportunities, while also pre-emptively addressing the potential challenges.

Drawing on the deep knowledge and experience of lawyers across a broad range of practice areas, including corporate and commercial, privacy and data management, environmental law, franchising, product liability, technology, tax, real estate and dispute resolution while staying abreast of industry trends, we focus on providing the relevant, practical guidance you need to pull ahead of your competition and meet your business objectives. Our litigation team also has significant experience representing automotive clients in product liability, class action, investigatory and other matters.

Osler is one of the few firms to have a dedicated e-mobility practice team which has expertise across the entire EV supply chain.
