Franchise
Franchise is an increasingly common form of collaboration to exploit a brand or formula. Properly recording the relationships with franchisees is crucial for the success of the formula. We work for leading national and international but also starting franchise organizations and (interest groups of) franchisees. Thanks to more than 20 years of knowledge and experience in this field, we not only share our legal knowledge, but also practical and commercially relevant experiences as a sparring partner, adviser or litigation lawyer. For international matters or aspects, we have a worldwide network of franchise lawyers.
