Trade and distribution
Smart offers
Since their respective openings, our offices in Asia and Africa have been assisting both multinationals and local companies alike in organising their distribution networks (drafting distribution or franchise contracts, cancellation of contracts, etc.). We can also provide advice on unfair competition and competition law. Our teams have, in addition, established regular routine contact with the regulatory authorities which facilitates our clients' formalities with them.
