Trade & Distribution

Clear guidance for healthy economic activity.

Commercial enterprises spend a lot of time and personnel resources dealing with market regulations and digital transformation. A successful product launch involves numerous strategic issues and aspects of commerce and distribution law. DORDA provides valuable support with national and international trading agreements, including sales, supply, agency, dealership and franchise contracts.

Manufacturers, suppliers, agents, distributors and franchisors/franchisees rely on our expertise. DORDA advises on every legal issue along the value added chain, from structuring and contractual arrangements to dismissal and contract cancellation, and provides support with out-of-court solutions and in courts and arbitral tribunals. We use our knowledge of international regulations to ensure clients are thoroughly prepared for the multilateral issues that arise under commercial and distribution law.
