Editor: Augustín Jausás

This authoritative reference work examines the laws, procedures, and practice relating to commercial agency and distribution agreements in 52 national jurisdictions worldwide. Having created a sold-out first edition, the editor has responded to popular demand with this new, manual online edition which provides both updates on countries covered in the first edition and materials on countries not previously covered.

For each country, the Encyclopedia defines the concepts of agency and distribution and identifies and analyses the basic aspects of agency and distribution agreements. The detailed systematic and comparative analyzes facilitate ease of reference and comparison.

This product permits quick and easy updating and the addition of new jurisdictions. The country-by-country analysis and detailed tables of contents also enhance the accessibility of this work. Updates follow on a regular basis.

Its currency and accessibility make the Encyclopedia essential reading for all those involved in the practice of agency and distribution agreements in an international context. It proves a practical and useful reference for practitioners and businesspeople planning and executing international transactions.

This work has been developed and published in association with Committee M (International Sales and Related Commercial Transactions) of the Section on Business Law of the International Bar Association.
