Fox Williams is inviting you to their annual agent law seminar on Thursday 28 November 2024 which will be held in-person at their offices at 10 Finsbury Square in London.

The topics we will cover include:

1. When is an agent not an agent?

Phyllis Acheampong considers who or what is an agent in the publishing industry, the travel sector, and the wider commercial world… and how you can become confused when dealing with a commissionaire agent.

2. Knowing and deciding: how not to break an exclusive distributorship or supply agreement

Veronique Bergau looks at a recent Court of Appeal judgment and why deciding to induce a breach of an exclusive distributorship agreement can be a breach of a director’s statutory duty.

3. When commission is payable and why the fact that the principal has not been paid is no excuse for not paying commission

Ashkon Camyab looks at the entitlement to commission of a commercial agent and why urban myths still abound concerning the Commercial Agents Regulations.

4. Repealing the Commercial Agents Regulations

Stephen Sidkin brings us up to date with the latest position. 

The seminar will be chaired by Stephen Sidkin, partner and chair of the agent law team at Fox Williams. After the formal presentations, there will be an opportunity to ask questions of the speakers and then to network over drinks and canapés.

There is no charge for this seminar. For more information about this seminar, click here, or contact events@foxwilliams.com or slsidkin@foxwilliams.com.
