Franchising Law

For the developers or owners of a business system and business related intellectual property, franchising is an excellent way to leverage those assets. Correspondingly, using a proven and established business method affords greater certainty to franchisees. The franchisor-franchisee relationship can be profitable for both sides. However, care must be taken to ensure that the written agreement between the parties adequately addresses the many and various events and stresses that may arise during a long and complex business relationship. Furthermore, care must be taken to ensure that the agreement complies with the regulatory regime.

Franchise agreements are often complex documents, sometimes necessarily so. The benefits of a well drafted franchise agreement and comprehensive legal advice are enormous, but the risks created by a poorly drafted agreement are correspondingly severe. Johnson Lawyers can guide you and your business through this complex area of the law and help you to minimise your risks while taking full advantage of this dynamic business model.
