Franchising Law
As a franchisee, you may be facing challenges like contract disputes, territory violations, or unfair business practices. Carroll Goldsmith lawyers can provide personalised guidance to protect your rights and interests, helping you understand your legal options, negotiate better terms, or take legal action if necessary.
Protecting Your Franchise Investment
The growth of investment in franchised businesses across Australia in recent years has been immense. The complexity of the arrangements between franchisors and franchisees can lead to confusion, disagreements and ultimately the breakdown of the relationship between the parties.
Our lawyers appreciate the significant investment required to expand your business to a franchised network, and we remain focused to ensure your investment is protected. Our lawyers are trained to prepare your franchise agreement and associated disclosure documentation to ensure, not only compliance, but clarity and the best legal and commercial protections.
