Franchising in Australia is big business. Across the country, there are some 1120 franchising outfits and more than 79,000 franchisees.

High profile cases at some of the biggest franchises mean that enquiries into the franchise sector are ongoing and the laws, including the Franchising Code of Conduct, are regularly reviewed and updated.

At MV Law, our team of franchising lawyers are experts in the field. We have acted for numerous franchisors and franchisees over the years giving us a strong understanding of the realities of owning, buying, selling and setting up franchises.

We can review all legal matters associated with a franchise, including business structuring, lease and property issues and dealing with employees. We also collaborate expertise across our legal teams so that our commercial, property and employment lawyers work together to resolve your matter. Specialisation across these practice areas means that we can manage all aspects of your franchise business, across all jurisdictions in Australia.
