The Situation: Our client was interested in entering into a franchise agreement with a major national real estate business and required the disclosure document and franchise agreement to be urgently reviewed, as there was a limited window of opportunity for our client to enter into the arrangement. We urgently reviewed the disclosure document and franchise agreement, clause-by-clause, and provided detailed advices and recommendations.

Our advice set out our client’s potential rights and obligations under the franchise agreement and also included information on the current franchisor, existing franchise operations, intellectual property, engagement required between the franchisee and franchisor during the agreed term and any hidden costs and securities.

The Result: A win for our client. Our client was armed with the right information at the right time, allowing our client to seriously consider entering into the franchise agreement within a short time-frame.

As every case is different, the cases reported here cannot be taken as an indication of a similar outcome being likely in your case, and these reports are not to be taken as legal advice about your particular situation.
