| | Agency continues to be a popular format for businesses wishing to obtain access to quality local knowledge and markets with speedy business penetration. Since the introduction of the Commercial Agents Regulations (and each Member State's equivalent) even greater emphasis has been placed on the importance of certainty and clarity in the agent/principal relationship.
We have particular expertise in assisting businesses to rationalise their agency arrangements following acquisitions, in order to ensure consistency of treatment and standards of performance. We also advise on the termination and settlement of agency relationships, particularly in relation to the impact of the Commercial Agents Regulations. One of our key focus areas is in the utilities sector, where the use of commercial agents has caused much concern over recent years.
