Sale & Distribution Agreements

Sale and distribution arrangements are used to move a product or service along the supply chain from manufacturer through to the retailer or end user. They enable a third party to sell a supplier’s product or service into a territory or to certain customers without the supplier having to establish itself in that territory or with those customers. A simple concept, but one which can easily result in litigation or have anti-competitive effects if entered into without expert legal advice on the area.

We can steer you through the potential issues and pitfalls which can arise when negotiating these arrangements, helping you to achieve fully compliant arrangements and understand the potential risks to your business and how these can be minimised.

We will discuss with you and provide advice on the specific terms of the arrangement and also on the options available to protect your business. Working as a team, our commercial contract experts will help you to consider all of the pertinent issues.

We support a wide range of Middle East and Europe-based companies and business owners across diverse sectors whether you’re acting at the supply or customer end of the supply chain. Whether you’re a high growth start-up, SME or an established national business we can support you with your commercial contracts and provide you with a holistic methodology. We know that there’s no one-size-fits-all approach to a sales or distribution agreement, which is why we get to know your business goals so that you can make the most of your product or service with our legal expertise.
