S & P LEGAL ADVICE

Distribution and franchise

Distribution materially determines the success of a company. We advise our clients in structuring their domestic and international distribution of goods and services. Providing holistic and interdisciplinary support to our clients is a given for us.

We focus on:

• Advising our clients in setting up their distribution network by way of employing sales agents, authorised dealers, licensed parties and/or franchisees.

• Drafting contracts with sales agents in accordance with the individual requirements of our clients. In addition to the classic issues of distribution laws like for instance the compliance with German and European antitrust laws and compensation claims upon the termination of contracts, our advisory services also include issues of E-commerce, trademark, tax and foreign trade law. 

• Assistance in the scope of contract negotiations

• In and out of court representation of our clients in all distribution law-related questions, e.g. in connection with the existence and calculation of possible compensation claims and matters of the law of competition.
