Franchising
Morgan Lewis is one of Australia's leading franchise law practices, and our clients include some of Australia's most successful and long running franchisors, predominantly in the food and retail sectors.
We understand the tension between the cost of setting up a franchise system and the need for documentation that meets the objectives of being clear, precise and relevant, while complying with the Franchising Code of Conduct.
We offer tailor made franchising solutions to meet the specific needs of franchisors and have the experience and expertise to project manage the entire franchise set up process, including advising on and preparing operations manuals, disclosure documents, franchise agreements and other ancillary documents required to comply with the regulatory framework.
Our experience includes assisting an offshore franchisor, with 343 outlets internationally, to move into Australia and adapt its franchise system to the Australian regulatory environment.
We also have extensive experience in handling disputes that arise between franchisors and franchisees, and the knowledge and experience to handle these disputes cost effectively. Understanding the sensitivities of a franchise relationship, we have experience resolving disputes in a way that doesn't destroy the parties' relationship.
