Law Tram connects you with licensed Australian franchise lawyers who can offer tailored legal advice specific to franchising. This free, fully online, and obligation-free service ensures you receive expert guidance on franchise law every step of the way.
Franchise agreements are legally binding contracts that outline the relationship between a franchisor and franchisee. They determine everything from fees and branding to training, territories, and termination rights. Because franchising is regulated by the Franchising Code of Conduct, compliance is essential for both parties.
Before signing or renewing a franchise agreement, you should have it reviewed by a lawyer familiar with franchising law. A lawyer can identify unfair terms, explain your obligations, and ensure the agreement reflects your expectations and commercial interests.
Law Tram connects you with experienced franchise lawyers who can help protect your investment and ensure you understand the risks, rights, and responsibilities that come with franchising.
