Workshop on Commercial agency
Workshop on Commercial agency law and the new competition law assessment of commercial agency and distributor agreements.
The General Competition Authority (GAC) continuous to expand their authority. In a recent development GAC was granted authority to review commercial agencies and distributorship from a competition perspective.
They may consider market impacts of arrangements between principals and their distribution partners and void exclusivity arrangements.
