Sales and distribution

Dike Schindhelm provides comprehensive advice to manufacturing companies and sales partners - in particular sales representatives, authorised dealers and franchisees - on all issues of national and international sales law. The focus of consulting extends from the creation of distribution agreements and the enforcement and/or averting of compensation claims, also in court, to advising with regard to cartel law or control of vertical agreements.

Whether it is e-business or classical sales: We draft your supply and service agreements as well as Standard Terms and Conditions, taking into account special features specific to the industry and designated purpose (e.g. online shop, B2B, etc.).

We also check the contracts presented by your business partners for possible tricks and risks and recommend specific amendments to you as required keeping in mind also the cost/benefit-evaluation.

The focus areas of our range of consulting services include, among others:

• Advising of manufacturing companies in the formulation of their sales channels
• Advising of sales partners in the collaboration with the manufacturing company
• Formulation of sales representative, authorised dealer, franchise, supply, service contracts and associated contract types
• Enforcement of claims (e. g. for contract-compliant delivery, for compensation, claims for compensation by sales representatives, warranty claims)
• Draft of Standard Terms and Conditions for all areas of commercial life
• Representation before courts, arbitration courts, chambers and other authorities
• Consulting in the termination and handling of contracts
