Agency and Distribution Agreements: Building Strong Partnerships

You might be tempted to use a free template online. While it seems quick and easy, using a default agreement is like trying to fit a square peg in a round hole. These generic templates rarely capture the unique details of your business, your products, or the specific market you aim for. They often miss crucial points, leaving room for confusion and potential disagreements. Imagine a disagreement about who has the exclusive rights to sell in a certain area, or how commissions are calculated. A default agreement might not cover these scenarios, leaving you vulnerable.

That's where a skilled experienced commercial solicitor comes in and will help you craft a bespoke agency or distribution agreement that fits your business. They will understand your goals, the specifics of what you are selling, and the dynamic you want with your partner. By addressing every "what if" scenario upfront, a well-drafted agreement can prevent misunderstandings and avoid costly legal battles later on.

Investing in a solicitor now is like building a solid foundation for your business relationships. Initially, it might seem like an extra cost, but it's a smart move that can save you a mountain of headaches, time, and money in the long run. Fixing a poorly written agreement after a dispute erupts is far more expensive and time-consuming.
