Are there legal risks for companies in cross-border distribution relationships with commercial agents and resellers? Yes, there are! Do these risks differ depending on whether Finnish or German law applies? Absolutely!

With this webinar, we aim to help you understand these risks, which can vary significantly based on the governing law, with a focus on Finnish and German regulations. Expert speakers from our member companies, the law firms Menold Bezler (Germany) and Magnusson (Finland), will provide key insights into how these laws impact your business. The webinar will be held in English.

 
 

You may know that commercial agents usually have a significant claim for compensation at the end of the commercial agency agreement. But are you also aware that depending on the governing law even a reseller may have such claim for compensation? Are you aware that certain minimum periods of notice apply towards commercial agents, and in certain cases towards resellers, too? 

 

This webinar will help you understand these risks, focusing on Finnish and German laws.

 

Agenda:

  • Short description: What is a commercial agent and what is a reseller?
  • When and why is Finnish or German law governing a distribution relationship between a company and a distributor (reseller or commercial agent)?
  • Relevant legal aspects of distribution via commercial agents – under Finnish law and German law
  • Relevant legal aspects of distribution via distributors/resellers – under Finnish law and German law
