    Can a broker represent themselves as a party to a deal?

    Ali Faizan Syed1 min read0 viewsUpdated 1/2/2026
    Article (20) prohibits a broker from holding themselves out as a party to the contract they are brokering. An exception exists only if they are expressly authorised by the contracting parties. However, if the broker becomes a party, Article (20) stipulates they are not entitled to any fees for that specific transaction. This rule prevents conflicts of interest and ensures the broker's primary role remains that of an impartial intermediary focusing on the client�s goals.
