Distribution Practices and Strategies

Buyers and sellers of goods are continuously looking beyond the boundaries of their current business environment—literally and figuratively—to meet the multiple challenges of emerging market forces, technological advances, significant changes in interpretation of distribution law, and ever-increasing customer demands for better service and greater value.  The changing marketplace has led to a wave of mergers, acquisitions and consolidations has created a number of retailing and distribution giants.  At the same time, e-commerce continues to revolutionize customer service, internal management and delivery systems for all participants in the supply chain.  Additionally, globalization has raised a host of new opportunities—and challenges.  As new channels proliferate, competition in and among them intensifies.  Our Distribution Practices and Strategies Group understands the broad impact of these developments on various industries in national and world markets.  We compliment this knowledge with our understanding of the basic commercial and operational issues that affect manufacturers, suppliers and distributors on a day-to-day basis.
