Franchising

 

LEGAL SERVICES - FRANCHISING

franchisesThroughout Australia, the range of businesses being franchised is on the rise, as is the volume of sales through franchised outlets.

Regulation and legislative intervention has also increased. There is now an "unconscionable conduct" component to the Trade Practices Act, as well as a requirement that Franchisors comply with a mandatory Code of Conduct. These developments alone have had a significant impact on the practices and procedures of all distributors of products and services, particularly Franchisors and licensors.


We understand that Franchisors need to know:

  • how current legislation affects the way you do business
  • how best to structure your affairs, and
  • what documents and procedures need to be in place to ensure compliance with legislative and Code of Conduct requirements.

We understand that Franchisees need to know:

  • your legal rights
  • assistance in understanding the terms of documents prepared
  • by the Franchisor and in negotiating changes, and
  • how best to structure your affairs.
