Franchising requires specialist advice at an early stage to ensure the development of a successful and enduring relationship between franchisor and franchisee.

The commercial team at Mincoffs, led by Partner Antony Hall, has considerable experience in advising both franchisor and franchisees in all areas of franchising, working closely with clients from the outset, to minimise the risk and avoid potentially expensive problems at a later date.

The team advise a wide variety of industry sectors, many of which are household names, including retail, telecommunications, hotelier and hospitality, veterinary and medical.

Antony and his team are able to provide the following services:

• Franchise system start-ups
• Franchisee representation, including franchise agreement reviews and reporting
• Expansion of existing franchise and distribution programmes
• Franchise conflicts and disputes, including enforcement of contract terms and termination of franchises
• Preparing template documentation for use in resales
