Franchise Law in Cairns – How Can We Help You?

Are you looking for an experienced franchise lawyer? Look no further than Strategic Lawyers. We can advise on all aspects of franchise law in Cairns. Entering into a franchise is not a decision to be taken lightly. It’s critical that you have the franchise agreement and any associated disclosure documents carefully looked at by a lawyer with experience in the area of franchising.

Our Cairns lawyers are experienced in both preparing and evaluating franchise agreements and disclosure documents. We provide high-quality expert advice and have a thorough knowledge of franchise complexities, including such things as fees, training, and territories. Furthermore, we operate a fixed-fee system which means we’ll give you an up-front price before we start with no hidden costs or bills.

Are you entering into a new franchise agreement or lease?

Because of the uncertainties of a new start-up, entering a franchise agreement can be a good alternative. However, be aware that franchise documents can be long and boring, not to mention difficult to understand and full of legal jargon. Whatever you do, don’t ever make the mistake of signing a document that you don’t fully understand.

Our franchise lawyers regularly explain these types of documents to our clients using good old-fashioned English. We also take the time to explain your rights and any potential risks so that nothing is left to chance and you can hit the ground running.

Do you want to expand your business?

Franchising is an effective way of growing an established and successful business. It can also help a company looking to expand both nationally and internationally and when done properly can strengthen its brand and secure its future.

It’s important to have a good understanding of franchise law in Cairns when you’re considering expanding your business. Why not come and talk to our franchise lawyers about franchising, licensing, and other options. You could find that it’s simpler than you have been led to believe and more cost-effective than you thought.

Are you in dispute with your franchisor/franchisee?

Due to the complexities involved in franchise agreements, unsurprisingly, disputes between the franchisor and franchisee do sometimes arise. The most common causes of dispute are:

  • Lack of due diligence by both parties
  • Poor franchisee recruitment
  • Lack of communication
  • Market conditions

In the event that you find yourself being involved in a dispute, it’s imperative to contact a knowledgeable franchise lawyer to protect your interests.

Resolving your franchise dispute

Given the cost of litigation, we strongly recommend going down the route of a negotiated settlement, and in particular mediation. This involves both parties meeting with a mediator present, in an attempt to find a satisfactory compromise that both parties are happy with. In most cases, it’s far cheaper and less stressful than litigation leading to a court hearing.

If attempts at negotiation and mediation have failed, then you may need to enter litigation and this being the case, we have the experience to fight your corner in court. 

We can’t emphasise enough the importance of obtaining good legal advice whether you are entering into a new franchise agreement or expanding your business with a franchise opportunity. Call Strategic Lawyers today to discuss franchise law in Cairns.

I can’t thank Strategic Lawyers Townsville and the team enough for all of their help throughout the case. Their knowledge and professionalism are outstanding. Despite our delays, they worked extra hours on their own time to get things done. I felt they truly wanted the best outcome for us, which we achieved. Thanks for not just meeting our expectations but exceeding them too!

After reading the Strategic lawyers bio, I was confident that I had found the team to represent me.
I found the initial consult just as they had described.
From the very comforting, warm welcome I received in reception, right up until the exchange of money at the end of the session, my enthusiasm only grew stronger with each exchange.
Justin is a very caring and transparent human-being, who took the time to listen to the intricacies of my case and give sound advice on the way through this.
Win or lose, I am confident that the team supporting me will fight for the best possible outcome.

Our first appointment left us in no doubt that we had chosen the right lawyer. Justin listened to our problems, gave us options on what to do next and an estimate of the costs involved.

Ryan, 2023

Had my first interaction with Justin Ireland in regards to my legal matter. There was no showboating about their previous cases or how many they have won which was impressive, in stead he announced his position and who was working with him and proceeded to lay down how my matter would be handled. People are often turned off by costs but when put into prospective the time and people involved, their prices are quite competitive. I have confidence I have made the the right decision by choosing Strategic Lawyers

Ryan, 2023
