Dutch commercial contract law attorney

Mees Bloembergen assists parties in the commercial chain, from manufacturers, suppliers, importers, distributors and commercial agents to wholesalers and retailers.

In this role, Mees assists parties in the manufacturing industry in the conclusion of international, commercial contracts – think distribution, franchise, agency, rental, lease and purchase – and drafts (general) sales and purchase conditions for them. He is involved in the company’s working methods and likes to think along with them about commercial, strategic choices regarding the establishment of orders, payment, delivery, returns and after-sales activities. He incorporates these strategic choices in the tailor-made terms and conditions.

Mees has experience in unfolding the international sales strategy of manufacturers and brands via distributors, commercial agents and dealers. In doing so, he has an eye for competition restrictions (such as competition bans, price fixing and online sales), product liability and intellectual property rights.

Furthermore, Mees negotiates and litigates (if necessary) on behalf of nationally and internationally operating manufacturing companies in the event of trade disputes. Often, the (non-)fulfilment of the agreement, the notice period of the sometimes long-term trading relationship, outstanding claims, deliveries of orders and possible damages and customer compensation are central issues in those proceedings.
