 Agency (law) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Agency is an area of law dealing with a contractual or quasi-contractual relationship between at least two parties in which one, the principal, authorizes the other, the agent, to represent her or his legal interests and to perform legal acts that sometimes bind the principal.
In the case of such dual agency the agent must either disclose information received by one party to the other or act in a limited agency capacity to prevent a situation where the agent's loyalty to the multiple principals is compromised.
Agency by estoppel is created when an agent's unauthorized activity causes a third party to believe the agent has that authority.

 LII: Law about...Agency
Agency law is concerned with any "principal"-"agent" relationship; a relationship in which one person has legal authority to act for another.
The law of agency is based on the Latin maxim "Qui facit per alium, facit per se," which means "he who acts through another is deemed in law to do it himself." Agency, in its legal sense, nearly always relates to commercial or contractual dealings.
The relationships generally associated with agency law include guardian-ward, executor or administrator-decedent, and employer-employee.

 SSRN-The Collusion Problem in Agency Law by George Cohen
Agency law does this by providing guidelines for determining when collusion of various types should be presumed.
My thesis is that transactional agency law can largely be understood as attempting to facilitate transactions by deterring collusion between principals and agents, between agents and third parties, and between principals and third parties.
I argue that what makes the three-party structure of agency law different from two-party structures is the potential for collusive behavior between any two of the three parties against the other.

 SSRN-Agency Law and Asset Partitioning by Robert Thompson
Agency law has been a traditional means by which liability has been extended beyond the corporate entity in particular circumstances.
The law's recognition of a corporation as an entity separate from its shareholders permits corporate planners to partition assets in a way that often contributes to economic efficiency.
That first-mover advantage, however, is not unlimited and the law regularly limits the abuse of such planning, as in non-consensual settings where the entity named as the actor lacks sufficient assets to pay harms arising out of the business.
