About

Provided by Brodies LLP

Ranked Band 1, our expertise in franchising covers a wide spread of franchising clients; from the one-person franchisee and the new start-up franchisor, to high value commercial activity.

Our experience extends beyond the Scottish market, including significant projects in the rail sector across the UK, and managing international documentation.

We regularly advise owners and major hotel brands on hotel franchise and management agreements and carry out significant structural franchise work and volume franchise transactional work for retail clients with franchise-led acquisition programmes. 

Clients also seek the support of our litigation team – the largest in Scotland – in contentious matters, both on the franchisee and franchisor side.

We are an affiliate of the British Franchise Association.
