How a Food & Beverage Business Hired a Lawyer to Draft an Exclusive Distribution Agreement in New Jersey

In 2023, a business in New Jersey sought assistance in drafting an exclusive distribution agreement to reflect its evolving relationship with a manufacturer after two decades of partnership. The client aimed to establish a contract that not only recognized their significant investment in product development but also included terms for automatic renewal every five years. The existing agreement had become outdated, and both parties recognized the need for a formal update to accurately represent their current business dynamics and the value of the products in the market. As a result, the client received 11 proposals from licensed attorneys, with flat fee bids ranging from $675 to $2,800. All proposals were submitted to meet the client’s requested deadline of less than a week, ensuring a timely resolution to their legal needs.
