Key Wholesaler Group Association

When the Key Wholesaler Group was growing in size, they wanted to look for legal representation that had experience in anti-trust laws as they pertain to buying groups and the wholesale industry. I had talked to approximately 4 different law firms, and not finding a "right match" for our group, I remembered a Mr. Harry Ray that was quoted in an article in the Supply House Times in 2002 that specialized in anti-trust and buying groups. I gave him a call and within a few minutes of our phone conversation it was obvious he was the "right match" for the Key Wholesaler Group Association. He had extensive knowledge on anti-trust issues as it pertains to buying groups and independent wholesalers as well. He was also nice, easy to talk to and not pushy or hard selling on himself or his firm.

Harry Ray helped the Key Wholesaler Group Association design a strict Anti-Trust Compliance program that is still actively used today. From the beginning to today, Harry Ray has helped the Key Wholesaler Group handle membership agreements, vendor agreements, updated by-laws, drafted our Anti-Trust Guide, review meeting minutes along with many other minor things. He is easy to work with, experienced, dependable and have enjoyed working with Harry over the years. Not only is Harry our legal counsel but he has also become a close friend to each shareholder and principal within the Key Wholesaler group, myself included.

Sincerely,
Mark Chavez
President and CEO
Key Wholesaler Group Association
