Whether you enter into a business or personal agreement, the basis is always a legal contract, oral or written. The importance of a legally sound contract is crucial, especially when conflicts arise. Hodak offers expert guidance in advising on contract law, negotiating and drafting various types of contracts and general terms and conditions.

Whether you are the franchisee or the franchisor, Hodak offers practical and efficient solutions that take into account various factors such as intellectual property rights, training, guidance and termination procedures.
Agency agreements
The firm’s expertise also extends to the field of agency agreements. Hodak not only advises on drafting these contracts, but also takes action if litigation is necessary. Legal guidelines on agency agreements, such as the right to commission and obligations of both parties, are well known to the firm.
Distribution agreements
The firm is adept at drafting distribution agreements, where exclusivity in a specific region is often a core component. Hodak has assisted both distributors and suppliers in terminating or entering into such contracts.

Frequently asked questions
What types of contracts does the firm handle?
Franchise agreements, agency and distribution agreements, loan agreements, confidentiality clauses and general terms and conditions. The firm’s experience covers both complex commercial agreements and general matters of contract law.
The contract is signed, but the other party is not performing. What can be done?
The other party has several options: demand performance of the obligation or compensation for loss, either through interim relief proceedings or ordinary court proceedings. Which route is appropriate depends on the wording of the contract and the circumstances, so the analysis starts with the documents.
Do you draft contracts from scratch or only review existing ones?
Both. The firm advises, negotiates and drafts various types of contracts and general terms and conditions, and also reviews texts that have already been prepared.
When does it make sense to get in touch?
Preferably before signing. A legally sound contract is especially important when a dispute arises, and it is easier to discuss terms at the negotiation stage than to argue later over a text that is already in force.
Who do you work with?
The firm works with both Dutch and international clients, on business and personal contracts.
How do I send a contract for review?
Write via the form on the contact page or to contact@hodak.nl and attach the contract itself with its appendices, as well as any correspondence about the disputed point. Files can also be sent via WhatsApp. If time is short, call the office.
