Founded by Christian Scali in 2013, Scali Rasmussen, PC is dedicated to providing the service that comes from a deep understanding of the automotive industry, state and federal laws and regulations. We stay on the cutting edge of new industry trends.

Scali Rasmussen is modeled after an in-house legal department providing services in all areas a General Counsel in an automotive company must know, while maintaining a high-caliber litigation department to handle both simple and highly complex, multi-party disputes, in which the firm manages several litigation teams. Our team includes attorneys with subject matter expertise in:

Franchise relations and disputes
Labor and employment law
Buy/sell, buy-in and buy-out transactions
High stakes litigation and class actions
Corporate governance
Licensing
Real estate transactions
Advertising
F&I advice and counsel and litigation
Data security
Safety
Intellectual property
Finance and banking

Rather than silo this knowledge and expertise, our attorneys collaborate to provide high quality services to our clients.

This expertise and collaborative approach allows the firm to provide top-notch outside General Counsel or Corporate Counsel services to auto dealers and others who serve the retail automotive sector.

Client service is very important to us. Our attorneys are available day and night to our clients, many of whom have become close friends. To foster these relationships, we offer services on flat fee arrangements, similar to the bygone retainer model, which removes the stigma of the billable hour and encourages our clients to call us to obtain advice on the smaller matters and thereby stay compliant with legal obligations.
