Process Agent
In global finance, it is standard practice for cross-border transactions to be governed by the laws of a specific, chosen jurisdiction. When a party to such an agreement does not have a physical presence within that jurisdiction, the appointment of a Process Agent is a critical and often mandatory requirement to ensure the valid service of legal proceedings.
Our Role
Aether provides a professional Process Agent service for international entities entering into contracts governed by the laws of a jurisdiction where they have no physical presence. Our appointment satisfies a key condition precedent in a vast range of financial agreements.
We provide a registered address in the governing jurisdiction for the sole purpose of accepting service of legal notices, court documents, and other official communications on behalf of our appointer.
