A process agent is someone who represents you or your business when performing international transactions or entering into legal agreements in a country where you don’t have a physical presence or a registered address.
They can act in a broad capacity, including 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, and their appointment is highly recommended when dealing with suppliers, banks or lenders in foreign countries.
