Franchising

Guy & Hinton advises franchisors and franchisees in respect of franchising strategies, written franchise agreements and disputes.

By their very nature franchises are ongoing arrangements that require ongoing support services in the form of training; marketing strategies; group advertising; and intellectual property licensing within a particular territory.

We advise franchisors on how best to leverage your product franchise, system franchise or processing and manufacturing franchise within the legislative and contractual frameworks that regulate these relationships with franchisees.

We advise franchisees on issues related to misrepresentation by franchisors of the opportunity offered under a franchise and the failure of franchisors to provide promised services, training and support.
