A distribution partner in East Africa
The challenge
A food company was about to sign an exclusive distribution agreement with a large local firm.
What we did
We traced the partner's ownership through three layers, reviewed local press and court records, and made discreet field enquiries.
The outcome
An undisclosed tie to an official at the licensing authority came to light. The client redrafted the agreement with a disclosure clause and a termination right, and went ahead.
