Dispute Resolution - Franchising

Laytons can advise on:

• The suitability or otherwise of franchising as a business vehicle;
• The terms of proposed franchise agreements;
• Competition law issues;
• Taxation issues;
• Claims and disputes including misrepresentation; breach of the terms of the agreement; non-payment; claims arising on termination; the insolvency of one or more of the parties.

If you are considering, or are about to enter into a franchise agreement, we can advise you about the effect and the full extent of any liability that you will assume.  Where necessary we will advise you on minimising and managing your risks, including advising you as to the suitability of franchising as a mechanism for buying a business, and on your possible alternatives.
