This is the law firm credited with inventing the Dealership Association. During the mid-1940s, one of the firm’s lawyers named Fred Colombo, was hired by local auto dealers to handle labor relations with auto dealerships. He created an auto dealership association to facilitate and ease the negotiation process. Soon after, similar associations were created for other car lines.

Unbeknownst to Fred, his ideas would be duplicated across the country and help this industry evolve into what it is today. The Colombo & Colombo law firm became widely known and respected for its unique expertise in auto dealership law.

The firm’s reputation continues today. When dealership associations, dealerships, governments or other law firms want to discuss laws affecting the auto dealership industry, they call Colombo & Colombo.
