About the Webinar

When does a contract become legally binding, and when is it only a negotiation?

In commercial practice, parties often rely on brokers, employees, or ongoing communications - but the key question remains whether the person involved actually had the authority to conclude the deal.

In this webinar, we will examine how authority operates under English law, using practical scenarios based on real trading situations.

  • What constitutes actual (express and implied) and apparent authority
  • Why self-representation and negotiation activity are not sufficient
  • How failures to verify authority weaken a party's position
  • When employees or brokers cannot bind the company
  • How tribunals assess communications, roles, and conduct in practice
  • Practical steps to verify authority and reduce contractual risk
