LAKE SUCCESS, N.Y. -- DealerTrack Inc. announced that Michael B. Maledon, a consultant to Van Enterprises, and Gil Van Over of gvo3 & Associates have joined DealerTrack's Compliance Advisory Council as founding members.
The Council was recently formed to assist DealerTrack in its efforts to educate dealers about compliance issues and in developing additional products that help dealers better manage their compliance risks.
"With the continually evolving threats to consumer security and the frequent updates to privacy laws, dealers clearly need help navigating the compliance landscape," said Maledon, general counsel to Automotive Investment Group. Maledon practiced law at Cooley Godward LLP in San Diego before joining AIG in 2002.
Van Over, founder and president of gvo3 & Associates, specializes in F&I risk management through the development and implementation of litigation defense strategies that help dealers improve their compliance and reduce the likelihood of costly litigation. Before founding gvo3 in 2001, he was chief operating officer at Premier Auto Finance, an auto finance management company.
Compliance Advisory Council members will lend their expertise in new laws and regulations, current dealership practices, activity by state and national associations, relevant new case law, and compliance-related products and services.
