Distribution Agreement

The distribution contract allows you to frame the conditions under which your distributors will offer your products and your customer services.

They are key for several reasons:

  • they allow you to ensure a consistent distribution policy;
  • they are a lever for framing your image and that of your products on the market;
  • they are the lever for managing your distribution network;
  • they ensure its durability.

You would like to:

  • improve the performance of your distribution contracts and compare them with good market practices;
  • buy a distribution network and gauge the risks and opportunities related to the distribution contracts in force.

Method of auditing a distribution contract

We carry out an analysis of distribution contracts at three levels:

  • we ensure their legality (competition law, restrictive practices, personal data, sectoral regulation in particular) and qualify the risks and help you measure them;
  • we ensure that the existing clauses are efficient, that is to say that they can be applied: if certain clauses are not, we identify them and characterize the difficulties that this will cause in the management of the distribution network;
  • we identify all the shortcomings, that is to say clauses useful for the management of the network and your distribution that have been omitted.

An audit report on your distribution contract with our recommendations

We provide you with a summary report:

  • which allows you to ask us to update your distribution contracts to neutralize all the risks they entail and bring them to the level of the best market standards;
  • if you are buying a network, to base your decision, to negotiate the price or the conditions of guarantee of assets and liabilities in full knowledge of the facts.
