Distribution Law: Streamlining Your Supply Chain
Distribution law in Germany and the EU is the legal fuel for your supply chain—get it right, and your goods flow smoothly; get it wrong, and you’re stuck in a tangle of disputes or fines. I handle the full pipeline: crafting distribution agreements that lock in your terms, resolving conflicts with partners, and ensuring compliance with German Handelsrecht and EU competition law, so your network runs like clockwork. My approach is straight-up: I secure your position, dodge pitfalls, and keep your revenue moving—whether you’re a manufacturer shipping from Bremen or a retailer stocking shelves across the EU. From a startup building its first distributor deal to a firm managing a pan-European network, I bring clear, hard-hitting solutions that turn distribution into a profit driver, not a drag.
How I Help
I begin by mapping your chain—what you move, who you work with, where it’s headed—so my solutions fit your flow. Drafting agreements? I write distribution pacts under favorable terms on your pricing, exclusivity, termination—that hold firm and tilt your way. I’ve crafted deals that stopped distributor price gouging and clauses that clarified delivery duties to avoid chaos. Dispute on? I jump in—whether it’s a German partner dodging payments or an EU partner breaching exclusivity—negotiating fixes or fighting it out with distribution law savvy. Compliance looming? I align your deals with competition & anti trust law, EU Vertical Block Exemption rules, or local Polish trade laws, keeping you clear of the authorities' heat.
I dig deeper too. Expanding your network? I structure multi-tier deals—think wholesale to EU retail—that scale without breaking. Cross-border hiccups? I weave in EU customs clauses and German Lieferkettenrecht to keep goods moving. Stung by a partner? I’ve turned breached deals into wins, recovering losses under applicable rules. I’ve handled manufacturer pacts dodging default risks, retailer deals under EU competition scrutiny, logistics contracts sidestepping delays. My support adjusts—a small supplier gets a tight draft; a big network gets a full overhaul. Every term, every scrap, keeps your chain profitable and risks dead. You’re getting a distribution pro who turns logistics into leverage, not liabilities
Why Me
I’ve spent years powering German and EU supply chains through distribution law—startups locking first deals, SMEs steadying networks, firms spanning the Single Market. I’ve won breach fights reclaiming euros under HGB, settled distributor rows saving deals, and built agreements that dodged German anti trust traps. My strength is foresight—I catch the snags others miss: the loose exclusivity term that invites a court clash, the vague delivery clause that costs cash, the compliance slip that pulls EU fines. I’ve worked manufacturing with its supply knots, retail with its shelf wars, logistics with its EU trade quirks—knowing HGB, EU competition law, and German distribution laws cold.
Clients stick because I don’t dawdle. I’ve heard execs blast lawyers who stall or fluff—I say: “Here’s your snag, here’s the fix, let’s roll.” I’ve saved chains by spotting risks early—like a German exclusivity breach that could’ve tanked sales—or enforcing terms others couldn’t. My record’s strong: I’ve turned a startup’s first deal into a steady stream, kept a retailer’s EU network alive through a distributor bust, and streamlined a manufacturer’s chain across borders. You’re hiring someone who’s seen the choke points, fought the battles, and keeps your supply chain pumping—no hot air, just results that deliver.
