About Us

We are recognised experts in the field of franchise law with offices in Salisbury and Andover. We have been a long-standing Affiliate member of the BFA. The International Franchise Lawyers’ Association welcomes us as members. Mark Lello and Chris Gwinn, who have extensive experience representing both franchisees and franchisors, are part of our franchise team.

We are dedicated to advancing franchising best practices so that the terms established between the parties are reasonable and financially viable. We recognise that businesses and individuals invest a lot of money in franchising, so we think it’s critical that they get the right advice.
