Franchise lawyers - do you need legal advice?

Franchise law governs business agreements between franchisors (the sellers of the business idea or methodology) and franchisees (the buyers that will trade under the franchisors name). The franchisor offers a viable business model and the know-how to get things started; the franchisee is authorised to use the franchisor's trademarks and business model.

The most important aspect of franchise law is the franchise agreement. Every franchisor and franchisee should get solid advice from a solicitor who specialises in franchising, as the franchise agreement governs all aspects of the franchise relationship, from establishment and throughout the term of the franchise.
