Many of our clients operate in the trade of goods and services – from manufacturers and importers via distribution, wholesale and agency activities to retailers and online shopping. Distribution, dealer and agency agreements have traditionally been the most common forms of agreement within the trade of goods, but a good number of commission agreements are still concluded. In recent decades, franchise agreements have become more common in line with consolidation within the trade of goods and services in an increasing number of industries
The contractual relationship between the professional links in the chain is only regulated by law for agents in the trade of goods. It is therefore important to enter into written agreements that suit the contractual relationship and ensure a clear distribution of rights and obligations between the parties. However, even with the best agreements, problems and disputes can arise in the contractual relationship. In such cases, it makes sense to have legal assistance to clarify where you stand and how you should proceed.
We can help you with:
- Advice and assistance with negotiations on entering into agreements
- Drafting of agreements
- Help with breach of agreements
- Assistance with termination of agreements
- Dispute resolution
