Supply and distribution & agency agreements

We provide expert commercial advice for a wide range of businesses, ensuring that they achieve the desired outcome, whilst not accepting too great a risk when buying or selling goods or services.

Our team advises both purchasers and suppliers on a wide range of supply and purchase arrangements, which are critical to the success of our clients' businesses. We also strategically advise on the appropriate solutions if purchases do not meet expectations.

Our clients include major banks, wholesalers, retailers, importers, exporters, and technology and media companies. We can advise you on the most appropriate routes to access your chosen market, whether domestic or international.

Our experience includes advising in relation to agency and distribution arrangements, compliance with the Commercial Agents Regulations and competition requirements and exemptions when granting exclusivity.

Our priority is to ensure that your contractual arrangements help you achieve your business objectives within any applicable legal framework.
