Agency Agreements

An Agency Agreement is a legal contract that sets out the terms under which one person (the agent) may act on behalf of another (the principal). While these agreements are often used in business, they can also be relevant for individuals in situations such as property matters, personal introductions, or commissions.

Having a clear agreement can help individuals understand what is expected, outline responsibilities, and reduce the risk of misunderstandings.
