Commercial Agency

At Neil Myerson your commercial objectives are our paramount consideration.

Whether you are considering becoming an agent or a principal, entering into an agreement under the Commercial Agents (Council Directive) Regulations can create a legal minefield. Our Commercial Agent solicitors can advise as to the advantages to be gained and the pitfalls to be avoided when negotiating an agency contract and can assist when disputes arise.

We are experts in Commercial Agents law and have a wealth of experience advising with regard to both international and domestic arrangements relating to commercial agents, including:

• claims for compensation/avoidance of claims for compensation following the termination of an agreement
• agency contracts, agreements and terms and conditions
• the pros and cons of an agency as compared to a distribution or other arrangements
• terminating agencies
• international agency arrangements, throughout the European Union and beyond
• disputes concerning commission payments to agents
• exclusivity arrangements
• jurisdiction and choice of law issues
• the pros and cons of adopting English law as opposed to another member state’s law

Seeking early legal advice at the outset of a relationship can pay dividends and can ensure security for an agent or alternatively can avoid costly and unnecessary payouts to agents by principals.

At Neil Myerson your commercial objectives are our paramount consideration. Our Commercial Agent solicitors based in Altrincham, Manchester, are adept at utilising modern tools in litigation such as mediation and other forms of alternative dispute resolution to bring about swift settlement, and are well versed in the fast changing European laws governing agents.
