    Brot- u. Buttergeschäft

    Quellen
    Brot- u. Buttergeschäft von ABC ist die Betreuung auf Kfz-Händlerseite, hier ist der Markt jedoch begrenzt u. weitgehend verteilt.

    ABC=law firm

    'advice to auto dealers is ABC's ..(bread and butter?!).. , but the market is limited here and widely distributed.'
    Kommentar
    This is from a text about law. What does this expression mean? Is it that advice to auto dealers is the law firm's specialty?

    Thanks in advance.

    Yes bacon, it's interesting. This expression originally comes form the English speaking part of the world and we have translated it into German. Now and wow we want to re-re-translate it back.
