Arbitration of Distribution Agreement Disputes

The chosen dispute-resolution mechanism may be as important as the obligations contained in a contract. Distribution conflicts may concern territories, exclusivity, performance targets and termination compensation.

What to keep in mind

Review the arbitration clause with the substantive contract, communications and evidence of sales and performance.

An arbitration agreement does not determine whether termination itself was lawful.

Distinctions often confused

Jurisdiction to arbitrate and the merits of a distribution claim are separate questions.

Frequently asked questions

Can compensation after distribution termination be arbitrated?
Potentially, if the matter is arbitrable and within the agreement.
Should urgent evidence be preserved before arbitration starts?
Yes, using lawful and available protective procedures.
