Franchised Business Services
Franchised businesses have exploded during the past decade and now represent approximately 10% of Australia’s gross domestic product.
To maximise the significant commercial opportunities that a franchised business can offer, legal risks must be effectively managed.
One of the most effective ways to manage the legal risks is to ensure that the parties are fully aware of the scope of the proposed or existing franchise relationship and the obligations on all parties in that relationship.
A carefully prepared franchise agreement, operations manual and disclosure statement that comprehensively outlines the rights and obligations of each party is critical to success.

- Review and advice on franchise agreements (and associated documentation) for existing and prospective franchisees
