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.
