Manufacturing agreements and supply chain contracts are agreements of particular interest to the commercial contract lawyers in our team.
When entering into or negotiating manufacturing agreements it it is very important to determine clearly the obligations of the parties and to take into account and cater for a number of factors. Particularly if the product is non-standard, it will be very important to cover the design and specification of the product. It will be important to consider whether the products are to be resold or used themselves in a manufacturing process of the customer and whether it is a one off or long term supply arrangement where forecasting of requirements and stocking for the product need to be considered. Issues may arise in relation to tooling and intellectual property.
If the parties are based in different jurisdictions this will also give rise to issues including export and import requirements, currency, language and choice of law and jurisdiction.
Mechanisms for approving products, making changes, resolving disputes, insuring and limiting liabilities may also be important as the costs and risks involved may be substantial.
It is important for lawyers involved in this kind of project to work with the client and take the time to get to understand their business and the issues relevant to their products.
