Franchise Services

Our lawyers have extensive knowledge and experience in providing legal guidance on all facets of franchising laws, including helping franchisees open new locations or franchisors establish a network.

Our franchise attorneys frequently provide advice on:

• the review and negotiation of franchise agreements
• providing guidance on creating franchise networks
• creation and evaluation of operations manuals
• franchisee and franchisor disputes
• franchise agreements and employment advice
• franchising data protection
• franchise sub-lease agreements

Due to our expertise in franchising, we are able to offer our clients current market insights, and solutions that are appropriate for the business risks they face, while making sure they stay within budget.

Whether we are representing the franchisee or the franchisor, our customised service offers our clients invaluable assistance in negotiating a franchise on favourable terms rather than just taking care of the legal paperwork. Our clients continue to use us because of the value that our knowledgeable team brings to the sector.
