Franchise Agreement Drafting

A franchise is really a bundle: a licence to use a trademark and a system, an obligation to follow the franchisor's standards, and a payment structure made up of an upfront fee and a recurring royalty. Because there is no dedicated legislation, everything rests on contract law and on what the document actually says.

The clauses that cause disputes are predictable. Territory and exclusivity. What the royalty is calculated on. Who owns customer data and local goodwill. Minimum performance targets. Whether the franchisee may source outside approved vendors. Renewal, termination, and what happens to signage, stock and the premises on exit.

We draft from whichever side you are on. Our in-house team maps the commercial deal you have agreed, builds the brand licensing, quality control and audit rights around it, and sets out fees, term, renewal and exit in language a court can apply. We also flag what needs separate trademark or tax treatment.
