What this usually involves

Distribution and agency arrangements carry specific legal consequences, including compensation rights for commercial agents on termination. The structure should be chosen before the paperwork is drafted.

  • Choosing between agency, distribution and reseller models
  • Setting territory, exclusivity and performance targets
  • Managing termination and post-termination payments

Common questions

Why does agency status matter?
Commercial agents may be entitled to compensation or indemnity on termination under the Commercial Agents Regulations, which does not apply to distributors.
Can I grant exclusivity safely?
Yes, with clear targets and termination triggers so exclusivity can be withdrawn if the partner underperforms.
