Agency disputes

Duncan Lewis Litigation Solicitors – Agency disputes

Agency disputes can occur in any professional relationship, whether a commercial agency agreement is involved or an individual working through an employment agency or with another agency agreement.

Disputes can often arise if the contract between principal and agent has not been set up correctly at the start of the relationship – and in the case of termination of an agency contract, either the principal or the agent might have a claim for compensation if the contract was breached or was ended due to a breakdown in the relationship.

Disputes over agency contracts can soon escalate and it is advisable to seek legal advice at an early stage of a dispute if it appears resolution is going to require negotiation and a court or tribunal hearing may be necessary.
