agency

In law, a relationship in which one party (the agent) acts on behalf of and under the control of another (the principal) in dealing with third parties.

In Anglo-American law, principals are bound by and liable for the acts of such agents as stockbrokers, business agents, contractors, real-estate agents, lawyers, union representatives, managing partners, and private detectives. See also regulatory agency.
