Franchising

About

Provided by Wright, Johnston & Mackenzie LLP

Wright, Johnston & Mackenzie LLP’s Franchising team has a diverse mix of accredited experts with decades of experience in the industry. We help advise if franchising is a good fit for you.

Franchises are not for everyone and the creation of a good franchise relationship is a two way process. Not only do prospective franchisees need to fit the ethos of the franchise they are buying, but franchisors also want to ensure that their brand name and network are protected by suitable franchisees.

The experience of our specialist team includes:

• franchise business development
• franchise agreements
• area development and master franchises
• resolution of franchise disputes
• sales and acquisitions of franchise businesses
• confidentiality agreements
• pre-purchase agreements
• due diligence for both franchisors and franchisees.

We act for franchising clients (both franchisees and franchisors) across the UK and beyond.

We were one of the first legal firms in Scotland to become affiliated to the  as professional franchising advisor. We have many years of experience in franchising, and our lawyers are straightforward, straight-talking advisors. Our franchising team includes lawyers from a variety of different disciplines such as commercial and corporate, dispute resolution, property, employment and tax.
