Franchising

Franchises are the preferred business model for some of the most successful businesses in Australia today.

Our team offers to franchisors or franchisees the range of legal services necessary for the creation of a franchise system or the purchase of a franchise by a franchisee.

We understand the legal issues associated with a franchise, whether it is a product franchise system, business franchise or manufacturing franchise, which can include: 

• compliance with the Franchising Code of Conduct (where it applies);
• corporate law and structuring issues;
• intellectual property protection;
• contract law;
• stamp duty;
• taxation issues; and
• due diligence prior to the establishment of or entry into franchise arrangements.
