International manufacturing, distribution, dealer and franchise networks offer an ideal, sustainable framework for bringing products to market. However, such multiparty arrangements also give rise to a broad range of compliance and commercial risks at home and abroad. Together, Ally Law’s member firms and individual lawyers have the cross-jurisdictional reach, industry-focused knowledge and in-depth experience necessary to help business owners with operations and relationships in countries around the world.
Our lawyers draw on their experience and legal acumen to draft and negotiate effective, risk-mitigating contracts with vendors, suppliers, franchisees, dealers and customers. When supply chain disputes arise, our member firms offer boots-on-the-ground, local counsel who understand the unique legal, commercial and cultural environments in which our clients do business.
We have a strong record defending clients in commercial, cross-border disputes and government inquiries involving dealer networks, system standards and upgrades, exclusivity enforcement, prohibitions against aftermarket and nongenuine parts, and termination, nonrenewals, and other substantive, competition-driven changes in supply chain, franchise and distributor agreements.
Our member firms represent clients operating in nearly every industry of the modern economy, including agriculture, automotive parts and supplies, leisure and hospitality, manufacturing, medical devices, pharmaceuticals, retail, restaurants and food service and technology, among others.
We work together to deliver local business intelligence and value with global depth and reach.
