Selective distribution agreements and contractual risk assessment under German law.
Distribution agreements often operate across multiple jurisdictions, making it essential to understand not only the commercial terms but also the legal framework governing the relationship.
In this matter, an electronics and accessories company sought advice on a selective distribution agreement proposed by one of its suppliers. While the company was based in the Netherlands, the agreement was governed by German law, requiring a detailed assessment of the rights, obligations and potential risks arising from the proposed contractual framework.
DLN members Tessa de Mönnink and Thomas Naegele worked together to provide the client with a clear understanding of the implications of the agreement under German law and to identify any areas requiring particular attention before entering into the relationship.
The coordinated advice enabled the client to evaluate the proposed arrangement with greater certainty and make informed decisions regarding its distribution strategy.
This project illustrates how the Distribution Law Network combines local legal expertise across jurisdictions to support businesses navigating complex distribution arrangements throughout Europe.
