Neobution's Global Distribution: 45 Countries, One Legal Partner

Client Success Team Client Success Team | December 10, 2025

Neobution distributes premium electronics to 45 countries. Every country means different regulations, different contract requirements, and different risks. When they came to us, their legal documentation was a patchwork of inconsistent agreements accumulated over years of rapid expansion. We fixed that.

The Challenge: Inconsistency at Scale

When you distribute to 45 countries, you accumulate contracts. Neobution had supplier agreements drafted by different lawyers in different years with different terms. Distributor contracts varied by region with no clear logic. Liability exposure was impossible to assess because no two agreements allocated risk the same way.

This wasn’t just inefficient—it was dangerous. Inconsistent terms create gaps. Gaps create liability. And when you’re moving premium electronics worth millions, liability exposure is real.

Our Approach: Standardization Without Rigidity

We didn’t try to force a single contract on 45 different markets. Instead, we built a modular system.

Core Terms: We developed a set of core commercial terms that would appear in every agreement—payment, delivery, warranties, liability caps. These created consistency where it mattered most.

Regional Modules: On top of the core, we created regional modules that addressed jurisdiction-specific requirements. EU consumer protection. US product liability. Asian import regulations. Each module plugged into the core framework.

Flexibility Layer: Finally, we built in negotiation flexibility for key accounts. Major partners could negotiate certain terms within defined parameters without breaking the overall structure.

Supplier Relationships: Protecting the Supply Chain

Neobution’s value depends on reliable access to premium products. That means supplier relationships matter more than almost anything else.

We restructured their supplier agreements to:

  • Secure Supply: Minimum commitment provisions that ensure access to inventory during high-demand periods
  • Protect Margins: Pricing structures that maintain profitability even when currency or shipping costs fluctuate
  • Limit Exposure: Clear allocation of liability for defective products that protects Neobution without alienating suppliers

“Before Aurenius, every new supplier meant a new negotiation starting from scratch. Now we have a framework. Deals close faster and we know exactly what we’re agreeing to.”

US Subsidiary: The American Expansion

Neobution’s growth required a proper US presence. Not just a sales office—a full subsidiary capable of holding inventory, employing staff, and managing American customer relationships.

We handled:

Corporate Structure: Delaware LLC with proper operating agreements and clear ownership documentation.

Import Compliance: Electronics distribution means customs, duties, and product certifications. We built compliance procedures that keep goods moving without delays.

Employment: US employment agreements, contractor relationships, and HR policies that work for a growing team.

Commercial Contracts: US-specific customer and distributor agreements that integrate with the global framework.

Results

After 18 months of partnership:

  • 45-country contract framework standardized and deployed
  • Average contract negotiation time reduced by 60%
  • US subsidiary fully operational with compliant infrastructure
  • Supply chain agreements restructured with improved terms
  • Legal spend reduced despite increased transaction volume

Why Standardization Matters

Every hour spent negotiating non-standard terms is an hour not spent growing the business. Every inconsistent agreement is a potential liability waiting to surface.

Neobution’s standardized framework doesn’t just reduce legal costs—it accelerates deals. When both sides know what to expect, negotiations move faster. When terms are clear, disputes are rare.

That’s the difference between legal as a bottleneck and legal as an enabler.
