New Rules for Distribution Agreements in the EU

Competition is a good thing as a it helps drive innovation and keep prices down for the consumer. However, a manufacturer will often want to put in place restrictions on their distributors to give each distributor a reasonable opportunity to promote and sell their products without facing competition from each other and their customers. It is also in the manufacturer’s interests that a distributor can make enough margin from selling their products so that they want to invest in promoting and growing sales.

The rules relating to what restrictions would be permitted changed on 1 June 2022.

This is exactly what our company has received from Hughes Paddison Solicitors and in particular Kimberly Whalen-Blake. Not only is Kimberly extremely well informed and professional; she is also personable and easy to communicate with. She responds to messages and emails promptly and goes over and above to assist.

“ Hughes Paddison came highly recommended and they were not wrong. I am so glad I appointed Kim to represent me. It was a really difficult time and Kim swiftly and compassionately cut through to the crux of the issue and gave me such clear and great advice immediately. The outcome achieved was truly the best for myself and the organisation and avoided more stress for all parties involved, as it was solved very quickly. Most importantly for me, Kim handled the negotiations. The relief of handing this over to someone I completely trusted made a horrible situation much better. Many thanks to Kim and HP.”
