Frequently Asked Questions — Law 21 / Law 75

What are Law 21 and Law 75 in Puerto Rico?

They are Puerto Rico's two distribution-relationship statutes. Law 75 (the Dealer's Contract Act of 1964) protects dealers and distributors who develop a market for a supplier's products, and Law 21 (the Sales Representatives Act of 1990) extends similar protection to independent sales representatives. Both restrict a principal from ending the relationship without just cause.

When can a principal terminate a dealer or sales representative?

Under Law 75 and Law 21, a supplier or principal generally cannot terminate, impair, or refuse to renew the relationship without just cause. What counts as just cause is fact-specific — typically a substantial breach of an essential obligation — so getting legal advice early, before responding or signing anything, is important.

What damages can be recovered under Law 21 or Law 75?

A dealer or sales representative wrongfully terminated may recover damages that can include lost profits, the value of investments made to build the market, goodwill, and other harm tied to the lost relationship. An attorney experienced in Law 75 and Law 21 cases can help calculate, document, and pursue these damages.
