Franchising Lawyers

A franchisor is a business owner who has achieved a proven system for success through a unique business model and branding and has chosen to replicate that system by franchising.
A franchisee is someone who has recognised that success and has chosen to operate a business using that franchisor's branding, systems and procedures. The franchisor and franchisee then enter into a Franchise Agreement to set out the terms and conditions of this business relationship. In Australia, the franchising industry is highly regulated, primarily by the Franchising Code of Conduct (Code) and the Australian Consumer Law (ACL). The team at Marino Law are experienced in all areas of franchising law. Whether it be setting up a franchise system for a new franchisor, providing ongoing advice for established franchisors, or assisting franchisees in the acquisition and ongoing operation of a franchised business, we can assist with all your legal needs.
