Franchising

Franchising is a hot topic and for good reason. Here at Sanicki Lawyers, we work to maximise our client’s opportunities, ensuring their venture into the world of franchising is a successful one.

Setting up or buying into a franchise is an exciting opportunity that could be greatly profitable. However, without the right guidance and advice, it’s a venture that can also be fraught with danger.

Whether you’re a first-time franchisee or an experienced business owner looking to expand their portfolio, we’re here to help you navigate the turbulent world of franchising. We’re skilled negotiators who can help you confidently work through problems with a franchisor or franchisee.

The legal framework for franchising is challenging and a successful franchise requires extensive planning and knowledge of the relevant laws and regulations governing this complex area. We have experience assisting first-time franchisees in getting their foot in the door, as well as those businesses wanting to set-up and maintain a new master franchise. We advise clients on all aspects of the Franchising Code of Conduct and the Australian Consumer Law and possess a deep understanding of what is and is not ‘standard’ or ‘acceptable’. We also assist those looking to buy a franchise with their pre-purchase due diligence, as well as helping those at the end of their journey wanting to sell an existing franchise.

Sanicki Lawyers’ expertise spans the multifaceted landscape of franchise relationships, encompassing commercial law, property and leasing law, as well as trademarks and intellectual property law. This breadth of proficiency allows us to offer comprehensive expert advice. As a full-service business firm, our depth of knowledge extends across various issues, ensuring robust support for franchisors and franchisees alike.
