How we can help

your Franchising Business

Business Setup and Structuring

It’s crucial to have the right structure in place for your franchise, as it protects your business and financial health in the event of disputes. We ensure that both franchisors and franchisees are set up for growth, compliance, and long-term franchising success.
Buying and Selling a Franchise

Purchasing an existing franchise allows you to leverage a well-established brand. On the other hand, if you’re ready to sell your franchise, many potential buyers are eager to build on your achievements. We will help guide you through franchise transactions, safeguarding your interests and ensuring a secure, profitable deal.
Franchise Document Review

We thoroughly review franchise documents to help you fully understand your rights and obligations. Our detailed reviews reduce risks, clarify franchise agreements, and ensure that your interests are well-protected.
IP Protection

Safeguard your franchise’s competitive position with our intellectual property advice. We help protect your brand, products, and services, ensuring that infringement and unauthorised use are prevented, preserving your brand’s integrity across all franchise locations.
Franchising Your Business

Convert your business into a franchise with our strategic legal guidance. We assist with entity formation, developing operational manuals, and ensuring compliance to create a successful franchise model.
Franchising Disputes

If a franchising dispute arises, our experienced team provides mediation and litigation support. We represent your interests to resolve conflicts and safeguard your investment and business relationships.

Our comprehensive regulatory advice ensures that your franchise remains compliant with UK laws. We offer guidance on advertising, marketing, and trade practices, as well as advice on meeting obligations under the UK Franchise Code of Conduct.
Employment and Safety

We help franchisors and franchisees establish safe working environments through effective employment policies and safety standards that comply with legal requirements. Our Health & Safety Advisory service provide ongoing risk management and employee training to ensure compliance.
