Working with foreign principals – am I protected by the Regulations?

The Commercial Agents (Council Directive) Regulations 1993 (the “Regulations”) give commercial agents important rights, and in particular the right to receive compensation or indemnity on termination of the agency agreement.One issue which we are often consulted on is whether the Regulations apply to an agent who works for a foreign company, and/or is working outside of the UK. Foreign companies, particularly those based outside of the EU, are often unaware of the Regulations, and can have an unwelcome surprise when they terminate an agency agreement and are faced with an unexpected compensation claim.

“We really appreciated the speed with which our matter was addressed, and with the immediate involvement of a specific subject matter expert. It is apparent that they foster a strong culture of team collaboration. The lead partner was compassionate and realistic, whilst giving us optimism. We always felt well advised.”
