SL and Co. franchise law

We have extensive experience in dealing with all types of Franchises both for the Franchisor and the Franchisee.

We can advise on the Goodwill value of a Franchise being purchased and indeed whether a prospective Franchise does amount to a Franchise, as some of
them don’t.

From a Franchisors viewpoint we have various types of Franchise Agreement and can negotiate the terms of a Franchise in order to realise the best possible returns to the Franchisor.

We can advise on how best to protect the name and Goodwill of the Franchise.

In acting for Franchisees, we can negotiate the terms of a Franchise Agreement to ensure the minimum liability including such issues as the sale and assignment of the Franchise in the future and the financial consequences.

We can assist you to obtain finance to purchase a Franchise and work with the Lender in connection with the provision of funding and security.

Many clients come to us for advice in connection with a Franchise Agreement after they have entered in to it. They fail to take proper legal advice from someone experienced in Franchise Law and often, it is too late to help. They are invariably contractually tied to an onerous agreement.

Don’t follow their example.
