In
this area of practice we act primarily in connection with the sale
and purchase of business involving a franchise. We also act for
franchisees on the initial grant of a franchise by a franchisor
on establishment of a new business.
If you are considering
acquiring a new franchise or an existing business operating as a
franchise, we can supply you with checklists to assist in your initial
assessment of the franchise / business. You should also become familiar
with The Franchising Code of Conduct.
Evaluating a
franchise should be undertaken with the assistance of appropriate
other professionals as well, including an accountant, tax advisor
and financial adviser, and other advisers appropriate to the particular
type of business / franchise.
We also act
in relation to disputes involving franchises. |
