How We Can Help You
Disagreements between franchisors and franchisees can disrupt business operations and damage brand reputation. Our experienced franchise dispute solicitors provide legal support in resolving conflicts efficiently, whether through negotiation, mediation, or litigation. We handle disputes involving:
Breach of Franchise Agreements
Addressing failures to comply with contractual terms. We assist you in resolving issues where one party has failed to meet contractual obligations—such as failing to meet performance targets, pay fees, or uphold brand standards. Our solicitors can help enforce or defend against breach of contract claims with a clear understanding of franchise law nuances.
Territorial and Competition Issues
Resolving conflicts over market rights and exclusivity. Disputes can arise when franchisors grant overlapping territories or when franchisees operate outside their designated areas. We provide expert legal guidance on territorial encroachment, non-compete clauses, and market exclusivity terms to safeguard your commercial interests.
Misrepresentation and Unfair Trading
Advising on claims related to franchise sales and operational practices. If misleading statements were made during the franchise sales process or if unfair trading practices are impacting your business, we offer practical legal advice on making or defending against claims. Our goal is to ensure transparency, accountability, and compliance with relevant consumer and commercial laws.
Termination and Exit Strategies
Ensuring legal compliance when ending franchise relationships.Whether you’re looking to end a franchise relationship or have been threatened with termination, we help you understand your rights and obligations. Our team ensures that all exit processes are handled lawfully and strategically, minimising risks and potential liabilities.
