Franchise Disputes Solicitors, Scotland

Buying a franchise can be an excellent way to start a business, especially if the agreement is checked by experienced franchise solicitors.

The franchisee benefits from the expertise, experience and prestige associated with an established brand name. The franchisor benefits from the initial fee and the ongoing fee, without the increased labour costs and time.

Franchising also allows the business to expand while reducing the risks usually associated with establishing new locations.

However, as with any business relationship, disputes can arise. At Jones Whyte, our specialist franchise dispute solicitors make it their business to ensure that your business keeps running.

We pride ourselves on our commercial outlook as well as our legal knowledge, and we seek to assist and advise you in resolving franchise disputes so that your personal issues are resolved, and the business can prosper. Get in contact with us today for expert advice.

Working With Franchise Agreement Solicitors

Franchise agreements can be complex undertakings. Often, disputes arise because of the non-performance of terms relating to payment and performance. It can be that a franchisor misrepresented the actual costs to the franchisee of taking on a franchise. However, disputes can arise for any number of reasons, from restrictions on trading to the actual termination of the franchise agreement. In such cases, expert legal advice in business law is crucial to manage disagreements and prevent disruption to the business.

The franchise agreement solicitors at Jones Whyte act for both franchisors and franchisees. Whatever side of the dispute you are coming from, we can assist you.
