Talk through your franchisor legal priorities in a single focused session

A lot can be covered if the issues are identified clearly in advance. This session can look at your franchise structure, current agreement position, disclosure approach, intellectual property arrangements and the way your network operates in practice. It is particularly useful where you want a legal sense-check before deciding whether a document update, restructure or wider rollout project is needed. The aim is to identify the main pressure points and explain the practical next step, rather than to carry out every piece of follow-on work during the consultation itself.

This is often the better fit where you want one-off advice on your current franchisor setup, rather than legal support for a live multi-site rollout or a full document overhaul. For example, you may already have franchise documents in place but want to understand whether they still match your operating model, fee structure, support offering or brand controls. If the issue turns out to involve wider implementation work across several sites or several franchisees, we can explain that and quote separately for the next stage.

Broader work is often needed where the consultation reveals a mismatch across several parts of the franchise system, not just one issue. Examples include outdated franchise agreements across the network, disclosure material that no longer reflects the offer, or trade mark ownership arrangements that are unclear. If you are planning a restructure, granting multiple new franchises, or coordinating changes across several sites, a larger service may be more suitable. This consultation helps identify that boundary early so you do not commit to the wrong type of legal work.

We can give legal advice on the issues we identify from your documents and instructions, but this service is not a certification exercise and it does not promise that every part of the network is compliant. Franchising risk often depends on how the business is actually run day to day, not just what the documents say. That is why the consultation is best used as a practical review of current legal priorities. If deeper checking or implementation work is needed afterwards, that can be arranged separately.

After the consultation, you should have a clearer view of which issues matter now and which can wait. In some cases, the next step may be updating key franchise documents. In others, it may be checking how your network actually operates against what the documents say, or getting more targeted advice on disclosure, brand licensing or expansion plans. If further legal work is needed, we can outline the options and provide a separate quote. Ongoing representation or long-term franchise management is not covered by this one-off service.
