Process Agent Services

A Process Agent is required when executing an international transaction if one or more of the parties involved does not have a physical presence or address within the jurisdiction where the transaction is taking place.

An example of a typical arrangement involving a process agent is where an overseas entity raises a loan from an institution. The lending institution will require the overseas entity to appoint an English process agent to whom they can deliver court proceedings in the unfortunate event that the entity defaults on that loan.

A process agent can act in a broad capacity for a company and/or individuals, including but not limited to; acting as a process agent for court actions, receiving documents in connection with arbitration proceedings and receiving notices under contracts where an independent party is needed.

It is recommended that each party without a presence or representation in the jurisdiction in question appoints a process agent. Service at the address of said process agent then constitutes service for legal procedures.
