Procurement and supply chain

Procurement and supply chain operations are at the core of business continuity. At Kayrouz & Associates, we provide legal solutions that help clients secure contracts, manage risk, and ensure compliance throughout the procurement lifecycle.

Practice Overview

Procurement processes must be efficient, compliant, and contractually sound. Our firm advises public and private sector clients on structuring procurement frameworks that meet regulatory obligations while supporting business goals.

We draft, negotiate, and review agreements with suppliers, contractors, and service providers—paying close attention to performance obligations, penalties, termination clauses, and dispute resolution mechanisms. Whether managing local vendors or complex cross-border supply chains, we help clients maintain clarity, reduce risk, and protect commercial interests.

In regulated sectors, our lawyers provide guidance on public procurement laws, tender procedures, and local content requirements. We also advise on import/export laws, customs issues, sanctions, and ESG-linked procurement mandates.

We work closely with internal procurement teams and compliance officers to ensure procurement strategies align with legal best practices and withstand regulatory scrutiny.

We offer legal advice on a wide spectrum of matters:

  • Drafting and negotiating vendor and supply contracts
  • Public procurement and tender compliance
  • Import/export and cross-border transaction advisory
  • Contract risk allocation and enforcement
  • ESG, sanctions, and local content regulatory guidance
  • Legal audits of procurement processes
