This book provides detailed information on legislation, regulation, and case
law in seventeen national jurisdictions on agency, exclusive distribution, and
franchising. The case law clearly exposes the issues from which disputes arise
– and the financial consequences of those disputes – and the practical
discussion includes sample clauses designed to anticipate those issues and
avoid the pitfalls to which they often lead. For twelve EU Member States plus
Switzerland and Turkey, as well as China, India, and Argentina – all countries
in which foreign direct investment is a major component of the economy – local
experts provide detailed information on specific applicable law, major current
case law, drafting guidance with specific clauses, and official English
versions of relevant primary material.
The enormous day-to-day usefulness of this book will be self-evident to
lawyers negotiating international commercial distribution agreements. Legal
scholars as well will welcome its comparative study of applicable law on
commercial contracts in a wide variety of global jurisdictions.
