The mobility industry is undergoing profound change. New distribution models, international supply and dealer structures, and the transition from traditional dealer networks to agency-based distribution present manufacturers, importers and mobility service providers with complex legal challenges. Added to this are issues relating to commercial agents and authorised dealers, contract drafting, and the enforcement or defence against claims both during the course of the distribution relationship and following its termination. A legally sound distribution structure is therefore crucial for sustainable market success.

We assist with the design and optimisation of distribution organisations, support clients in contract negotiations and develop legally sound contractual frameworks for dealer, agency and distribution structures.
