Purchasing Department

The purchasing department is responsible for the purchases of office furniture, office equipment, office supplies, and general use goods and materials. The philosophy of this department has currently changed from an old fashioned purchasing function, to a procurement function. M and Z Law Group LLC previously maintained a mission of buying at the lowest cost. Now, with the refined mission of seeking the best value from fewer and more efficient, responsive, and reliable suppliers, we are able to maintain long-term, mutually beneficial business partnerships with our current suppliers. At M and Z Law Group LLC, the purchasing function is centralized. The Purchasing function identifies the current needs of the various business departments at M and Z Law Group LLC and purchases all of the goods and services centrally, thereby gaining a better purchasing economy of scale. Our mission is to carry on the business duties with fewer, and higher-level buyers who can not only provide superior quality products and services, but can also stand behind them.

The following outlines our purchasing standards and requirements:

  • Our purchasing department/function observes Favored Nations Clause, also known as Most Favored Nations Clause, which assumes that an institution or organization will not have preferential treatment in regards to another organization or institution, and will treat the other parties on equal basis.
  • Due date refers to an enforcement of a contract or a payment on a specified, predetermined, mutually agreed upon date and time.
  • The form and method of payment is a negotiable instrument between the institutional or corporate seller and the buyer; therefore, the Payment Terms are explicitly stated in the contract.
  • F.O.B. (‘Freight on Board’) contract terms must be observed. Therefore, the goods provided to the purchaser have to be delivered on board by the seller, free of expense to the purchaser, and they are not at the latter’s risk until actually delivered on board, when the property in them passes to him or her. The seller must also give the buyer sufficient notice to enable him or her to insure against loss during the delivery and transit of the goods.
  • Goods provided are to be installed at the destination place free of charge. Therefore, it is the suppliers’ responsibility not only to deliver the product, but also to place it in a specified destination and to ensure the products full operational capacity.
  • The supplier is to face risk of insurance, which is a promise to bring the equipment and goods delivered to their full, uninterrupted functional capacity upon the destruction or mechanical failure due to unrestricted, reasonable usage of the equipment. The specific liabilities, the legal responsibility to the purchaser commanding adequate performance according to the terms stated in the contract are to be carried out. The limits on the coverage, inclusions of a risk under the insurance policy, are to be mutually agreed upon.
