English translation:(Specifically), the agent will
Explanation:
You could leave out "specifically", since it doesn't add much to the sentence. And you can also say "shall" instead of "will".

The agent's specific duty will be (the following)


Explanation:
An agent - akin to a company director in IT and UK law - may also have general duties. So better not leave out.

Example sentence(s):
  • Let's take a look at each of these five specific duties. ... The agent can't act in a way that would disadvantage or harm the principal or the principal's property

I have used the present in the English because, while in Italian the "impegno" will be made in the future, using the English contract formula the agreement to make that "impegno" is made now at the time of signing the contract, or in other words "the agent shall agree" would sound odd.
