International Agency and Distribution Law

Description

International Agency and Distribution Law provides comprehensive coverage of the laws and practices of more than 50 countries world-wide, as well as the European Union. The work, written by leading practitioners and experts from each respective jurisdiction, provides information and analysis on the issues that should be covered in a properly drafted distribution agreement. Differences in language, currency, and legal structures and the geographical separation of parties present difficulties for exporters, most of which can be overcome by the careful selection of a distributor in the country of distribution. The use of an experienced distributor in the local jurisdiction represents the easiest and most expeditious means of entering a foreign market. International Agency and Distribution Law examines all important facets of law and practice impacting on distribution and agency, including: the laws affecting the sale of goods through use of local agents and distributors, addressing issues relating to distribution contracts, employment, tax liabilities, liability for the acts of an agent, and dispute resolution. This work is a required reference for those involved in agency and distribution law.
