AMG’s litigation team strikes again!
Led by division co-chair Luis Oliver Fraticelli together with junior partner Fabian Rodriguez, the duo successfully won reversal in the Puerto Rico Court of Appeals of a decision by the trial court involving the enforceability of a choice of forum clause in the context of a distribution contract subject to the Puerto Rico Dealer’s Act, the infamous Law 75. The issue comes up often and there is a growing disparity between decisions by local versus federal courts. Here, the issue was made even more interesting by the fact that the underlying contract had expired on its terms, which raised the question as to what terms governed the distribution relationship (and whether such terms included the choice of forum clause or not). Is your business dealing with similar issues down the distribution chain? Contact us at your convenience!
