FRANCHISING - The franchise business model is complex and highly regulated, and requires extensive planning and expert knowledge across various areas of law, including the Australian Consumer Law, commercial and corporate law, property law, employment law, and intellectual property.
​

Buying or selling a franchise is more complicated than buying or selling an ordinary business, as a transaction of this nature also requires the consent of the Franchisor, and must be completed in accordance with the Franchise Agreement.

Manookian Solicitors provides tailored legal advice, and solutions to assist you with any prospective sale or acquisition of a franchise business.

Manookian Solicitors provide business advisory services to Franchisors and Franchisees who require legal advice in relation to their rights and obligations under a Franchise Agreement, the Franchising Code of Conduct, or need help reviewing or updating their Franchise Agreement.
