Our Commerce & Technology team, are holding a seminar a seminar on agency and distribution agreements, essential for any business that appoints agents or distributors for its goods, or is itself an agent or a distributor of goods.

Topics to be covered at the seminar include:

Agency agreements
• A reminder of some of the important implications of the Commercial Agents Regulations.

• How compensation will now be calculated on termination of agency agreements. Harvey Ingram acted in the leading ground-breaking House of Lords case last year which changed the way in which compensation on termination is calculated.

• Who is an agent? The scope of “agents” now caught by the Commercial Agents Regulations has widened.

• The importance of properly terminating agency agreements.

Distribution agreements
• The advantages and disadvantages of distributorship over agency.

• UK and European competition laws affecting distribution agreements.

• Avoiding common problems.
