Importers, distributors and supply chains
DEGA PARTNERS provides legal support to Ukrainian and international manufacturers, importers, distributors, retail chains and other supply chain participants in organising and developing their commercial activities in Ukraine.
Import and distribution require a comprehensive approach to customs, regulatory, competition and contract law, product requirements, labelling rules, conditions of sale and the specifics of dealing with suppliers, trading partners and end consumers. These factors directly affect the structure of supply chains, the commercial efficiency of the business and the management of legal risks.
Our expertise covers the legal structuring of import and distribution models, the preparation and support of commercial contracts, competition law, regulatory product requirements, customs regulation, protection of intellectual property rights and management of contractual risks. We help clients build effective supply and distribution models, comply with the law and protect their commercial interests at every stage of the movement of goods.
We combine commercial, corporate, regulatory and competition law expertise to offer practical solutions that reflect the client's business model, the market structure and the requirements of Ukrainian and international regulation.
