Our Franchising team comprises a blend of mainstream franchising advice for franchisors and franchisees together with licensing and brand exploitation for certain nationally and internationally known brands of goods and services in differing industries.

Our expertise in this field has led to us advising funders and investors in franchises in addition to buyers.

Our experience includes:

• Creating bespoke franchising documentation
• reviewing documentation for franchisees
• advising on the choice of legal structure for franchisees
• advising on other regulatory issues
• advising on other contractual arrangements with third parties
• advising on rights and remedies for both franchisors and franchisees.

This service is complimented with the provision of related advice on, for example:

• Intellectual property
• employment contracts
• funding
• property
• tax.

The strength of our international franchising practice has been regularly acknowledged by the independent Legal Directory, Chambers.
