Supply and Distribution Agreements

We have extensive experience in representing manufacturers, suppliers, and distributors in structuring their distribution and supply arrangements.  Our attorneys assist manufacturers and suppliers in designing and implementing distribution programs that comply with the Robinson-Patman Act, negotiating exclusive and non-exclusive agreements on behalf of both suppliers and distributors, negotiating requirements contracts, and structuring and negotiating all manner of Joint Ventures and teaming arrangements.

We also advise clients concerning the unique aspects of Connecticut law pertaining to franchise relationships and their often unexpected implication for supplier-distributor relationships.  Through TAGLaw, we have access to experienced counsel throughout the world to assist in structuring arrangements and compliance with import-export rules and foreign legal requirements.
