Dealers have shown their resiliency as they developed strategies to survive, and even thrive during, the pandemic.  Dealer operations during these difficult times have highlighted critical legal issues  as the pandemic (hopefully) winds down, and dealers return to "normal" times with operations informed by the lessons learned from the pandemic.  The session will cover:
