Franchising

"We have a long association with the franchising industry - acting for franchisors and franchisees.  Our firm has grown with our clients." David Williams

Franchising is both a method of raising capital and way of assisting the rapid distribution of goods and services.

Our franchising team has extensive knowledge and understanding of the distribution channels used in the retail industry, which has been gained over more than 20 years of representing some of Australia's leading franchisors.  Our clients come from a range of industries including fast food, transport, motor dealerships and finance.

We have forged many long-term relationships with our franchising clients.  We are actively involved in developing strategies to maximise opportunities in a competitive environment.

We have also acted for franchisees as a collective group in negotiating with franchisors in regard to franchise documentation.

We advise the industry on:

  • franchise agreements
  • Franchise Code of Conduct
  • corporate governance
  • risk management
  • commercial documentation
  • due diligence investigations
  • trade practice
  • supplier distribution rights
  • development and protection of intellectual property
  • AS3806 compliance programs
  • retail leasing
  • product liability claims
  • dispute resolution.
