Drafting Distribution Agreement
Establishing a strong foundation for a business relationship is crucial, and a well-drafted distribution agreement plays a vital role in ensuring clarity and preventing future conflicts.

What is a Distribution Agreement?
A distribution agreement is a legal contract between a manufacturer or supplier and a distributor, outlining the terms under which the distributor agrees to purchase and sell the manufacturer’s products within a defined geographical area. This agreement is critical to ensuring that both parties are aligned on their roles, responsibilities, and expectations.
