Franchising

We act for franchisors, franchisees, and industry bodies across a range of sectors. Being commercial lawyers, our finger is on the pulse of markets and of business opportunities. And we know that when the right business and the right franchise arrangement coincide, there is scope for huge client gains.

But getting to that point takes careful planning. We work with clients to assess if a franchise is the right option for them, whether they are looking to buy a franchise, or to create a network. We design franchise models and draft agreements – including licensing agreements that protect our client’s brand – that stand franchisors in the best possible stead. And, on the flipside, we take franchisee clients through the detail of a proposed deal and help negotiate better terms. We also advise on the sale of franchises, ensuring the best possible deal.
