The gadens lawyers franchising team has been providing legal advice to franchise participants for more than 25 years. We understand the special dynamics of franchising businesses, which depend on cooperation between franchisors and franchisees.
Our franchising clients range from large, mature franchisors to small operations we have helped establish as franchising systems. Clients have included franchisors and franchisees from a range of retail, service and manufacturing businesses, including bedding, gifts and homewares, food, automotive goods and services, clothing and footwear, professional and business services, and household and personal services.
Our team’s expertise includes practical advice on business and taxation structures, trade mark registration and other intellectual property protection, current advice on codes of conduct, preparation and vetting of all relevant documentation (including disclosure documents, franchise agreements, leases, sub-leases and licences, and sale and purchase documents), dispute resolution and litigation, advice on the Trade Practices Act, and development of compliance programs.
