An Agency Agreement establishes a formal relationship where one party (the principal) authorizes another (the agent) to act on their behalf in Qatar. Under Qatari Commercial Law No. 27 of 2006, these contracts define how an agent can legally represent, negotiate, or conduct business transactions for their principal.

Common in sectors like real estate, insurance, and international trade, these agreements specify the agent's powers, compensation structure, and territorial limits. They must comply with Qatar's Commercial Agencies Law, which requires local agents to be Qatari nationals or companies with 100% Qatari ownership. The agreement protects both parties by clearly outlining responsibilities, duration, and termination conditions.

Use an Agency Agreement when expanding your business operations in Qatar through a local representative. This is especially crucial for foreign companies entering the Qatari market, as local law requires having a Qatari agent for certain commercial activities, including government contracts and import/distribution operations.

The agreement becomes essential before allowing anyone to negotiate deals, sign contracts, or represent your interests in Qatar. Companies need it to comply with Qatar's Commercial Agency Laws, particularly in sectors like construction, oil and gas, and professional services. Having this agreement in place prevents unauthorized representations and provides clear legal recourse if disputes arise.

Agency Agreements are often confused with Broker Agreement in Qatar, but they serve distinct legal purposes. While both involve intermediary relationships, their scope, obligations, and legal framework differ significantly under Qatari law.

• Legal Authority: Agency Agreements grant the agent power to legally bind the principal, while brokers typically only facilitate connections between parties without binding authority
• Registration Requirements: Agency Agreements must be registered with Qatar's Ministry of Commerce and require 100% Qatari ownership, whereas broker agreements often don't need registration
• Duration and Exclusivity: Agency relationships in Qatar tend to be long-term and often exclusive within specific territories, while broker arrangements are usually project-specific and non-exclusive
• Compensation Structure: Agents typically receive ongoing commissions and may have territorial protection rights, while brokers usually earn one-time fees per transaction
