The Association of Professional Sales Agents (Sports and Leisure Industries) is inviting all agents in the sports trade to its annual general meeting and agency law seminar on June 27.

The seminar, to be held at Federation House, Stoneleigh Park, Warwickshire, will cover various aspects of agency law, including:
• Agency termination and loss - what are your entitlements.
• Resolving agency disputes - why, how and when to settle.
• Retiring your agency because of age or illness - how to ensure your financial security.
• Case studies - Lonsdale vs Howard, and Hallam and Spectrum Agencies vs Crocs Europe.

APSA has secured the services of speaker Stephen Sidkin for the event. Sidkin is a founder partner of Fox Williams LLP and is recognised as a leading authority on agency and distributorship law, and in particular the Commercial Agents Regulations, which led him to establish Fox Williams’ agentlaw team and the development of http://www.agentlaw.co.uk.

APSA has decided to open the event up to all agents serving the trade (covering sport, angling, golf, outdoor and urban sports), as well as existing members. This will give any non-members the opportunity to learn more about the benefits of APSA membership, network with existing member agents over lunch and take part in the annual golf event if they wish.

Speaking about the seminar, chairman Chris Hodges said: “We are pleased to announce that Stephen Sidkin will be speaking at our AGM this year, as agency law is such an important topic for our members, and it’s important they are up to speed. I would encourage all agents to attend our event.”
