Consumer Markets & Franchising

Consumer goods and services businesses need to deal with a range of issues when establishing or growing their wholesale or retail distribution networks.

These issues include establishing and operating franchise models, complying with competition, consumer and privacy laws, raising capital, enforcing intellectual property rights and avoiding or resolving disputes.

We work with a wide range of consumer industries – from real estate, food and beverage, and luxury goods and fashion through to franchisors, online businesses and large format retailers.

The clients we work with range from founders and entrepreneurs, angel investors, and private companies, through to listed multi-nationals and private equity funds.

This range means we can approach new or established franchisors, businesses looking to expand, founders seeking investment or those looking to exit with strategic advice that’s grounded in precise commercial understanding.

Our proficiency in franchising has led us to offering guidance throughout the entire process. Every franchise system is unique, and the legal documentation needs to reflect this. Similarly for clients looking to expand, we help them choose the right expansion model that facilitates potential growth.

We can also work closely with in-house legal teams to deliver a seamless product or part of a project with the sensitives of balancing stakeholder needs.
