Our experienced and dedicated team at Robertson LLP can advise on all matters related to franchise law. Negotiation, drafting and updating of franchise agreements, including single and multi-unit franchise agreements. Franchise disclosure law compliance, purchase and sale of individual units or complete franchise systems, franchise expansion, including development and area agreements, including joint ventures, and all strategic advice regarding your business venture.
Whether you are navigating a unit franchise, area development franchise or master franchise structure, Robertson LLP’s franchise team can guide you through finding the ideal corporate structure for your franchise.
Once the franchise agreement is brought to the table, there are a few things that should be well prepared and understood by both the franchisor and franchisee. The details in the Franchise Agreement are of what the franchisor expects from the franchisee and affect every facet of how the business is operated. From the territory details, to operations, duration, franchise fee, royalties, trademarks, advertising and marketing, renewal rights and termination provisions – no two franchise agreements are the same. It is imperative you seek the proper counsel to draft your agreement as the franchisor, or to review your agreement prior to execution as the franchisee.
