A franchise agreement review is a detailed legal analysis of the contract between a franchisor and franchisee. This agreement governs the relationship, spelling out the terms under which the franchisee operates the franchisor's business model.

Key elements typically included in a franchise agreement review are:

• Franchise fees and payment obligations
• Territorial rights and exclusivity clauses
• Training and support provided by the franchisor
• Marketing contributions and requirements
• Duration of the agreement and renewal terms
• Termination clauses and exit strategies
• Dispute resolution mechanisms

We review franchise agreements in the following situations:

• Before signing a franchise agreement - prospective franchisees should have the agreement reviewed before committing to ensure they fully understand their obligations and any potential risks.
• When renewing a franchise agreement -existing franchisees should review updated agreements during renewal to assess any changes in terms or conditions.
• When purchasing an existing franchise - buyers acquiring an established franchise must review the agreement to identify any hidden liabilities or obligations.
• When terminating a franchise relationship - if either party seeks to terminate the agreement, a legal review can clarify exit clauses and obligations.
• When disputes arise - a review can help resolve misunderstandings over the interpretation of the agreement.
• When expanding a franchise – franchisors expanding their business may need to review agreements to ensure compliance with Australian regulations.
