Distributorships & Agencies
Since 1953, we have been supporting clients seeking to expand their business locally or overseas through appointing agents and distributors.
We advise our clients on the important considerations related to each scenario such as jurisdictional regulations, geographical limitations and product exclusivities, terms of payment, contract length and termination, etc.
We undertake legal due diligence, we draft the applicable agreements in dual language (e.g. agreements for general distribution, franchising, master franchising, agency, etc.), and we handle all matters related to competition and intellectual property rights, both domestically and internationally.
Clients supported by Zaki Hashem, Attorneys at Law, include large and small blue-chip companies from all sectors.
