Anyone who has to deal with legal issues related to agency or distribution relationships is well aware that the regulations governing such relationships are becoming increasingly complex and difficult to interpret.

A company's desire to structure its distribution network in the most flexible way possible sometimes conflicts with a regulatory system that imposes numerous restrictions.

In addition, non-competition agreements, which are frequently used by the parties, must strictly comply with the provisions of both state and federal laws in order not to be deemed unlawful.

Linares Associates PLLC has many years of experience in drafting and negotiating agency and commercial distribution agreements. We are also able to assist our clients in the delicate phase of terminating such relationships and provide advice on issues related to any claims for compensation.
