Darren,

Thanks for the answer. I figured there was something to protect the agents that have already performed work.

Smart agents will require their clients to sign written agreements. These are often called Standard Representation Agreements or SRAs. Individual leagues may proscribe a uniform contract that a registered advisor must sign with his client as well.

Unfortunately, these contracts are often easy for either party to breach. However, if an agent has performed his duties as proscribed, he is entitled to any work done on behalf of his client up to that point. Example: client signs a 5 year deal with team prior to firing agent. Agent is entitled to commission on entire 5 years of contract.
