FSMA recommends that members not sign improper manufacturer contracts until properly reviewed by FSMA legal counsel. This service can help eliminate unfair treatment or biased contracts. Each member is entitled to a share of FSMA legal counsel hours for free as part of their dues investment.

Questionable contracts should be submitted to FSMA for review. We will promptly and confidentially provide you with legal advice and contract language that complies with recommended industry standards.

Members may contact Rick Abraham at 410.715.6672 for contract reviews. In addition, an industry standard contract template is available. Members can click here for FSMA's Recommended Agency-Manufacturer Contract Guideline (member password required)

Manufacturer members may also contact FSMA for advice on how to write a proper and legally enforceable contract.
