Commercial Agency Law (Bahrain, Legislative Decree No. 10, 1992) in English

Legislative Decree No. 10 of 1992 is Bahrain's Commercial Agency Law: registration of agencies, the rights of the registered agent, and the consequences of terminating or failing to renew an agency. As across the Gulf, the statute exists to protect the local agent — which is precisely why foreign principals need to read it before appointing one, not after.

Suppliers distributing into Bahrain, their counsel structuring or unwinding agency arrangements, and agents asserting their statutory protections are the constant audience for this law, one of the most commercially consequential texts in the Kingdom.
