Franchising
When done properly, expanding your business by franchising can be very rewarding in both a personal and financial sense. However to ensure that current and emerging legal risks are dealt with accordingly, preparation is the key.
As a franchisor you may from time to time contemplate taking your brand to new domestic or overseas markets. Potential franchisees who share your vision and want to contribute to it will take comfort from the knowledge that your system is in a position to build off existing success.
The value and strategic fit you look for in aspiring franchisees should apply equally, if not more so, to your legal services partner.
Widely recognised for providing a comprehensive range of proactive and service focused expertise, the outstanding Franchising team at Middletons offers a combination of industry knowledge, commerciality and a depth of experience few can match.

Our services extend to protection of intellectual property, sale and acquisitions of businesses, compliance with statutory requirements under the Trade Practices Act, employment issues, tax advice, property, dispute resolution and litigation, strategic commercial advice, IT and business structuring.
Yet we don’t just provide technical expertise. With partner accessibility a pivotal aspect of our service, we take a position to provide commercially savvy advice that delivers you the best business solutions.

A member of the Franchising Council of Australia, our team has an invaluable ‘hands-on’ understanding of not only the prevailing industry environment but also compliance matters under the Franchising Code of Conduct.
With offices in both Melbourne and Sydney, we offer you real value in the guise of a full suite of legal resources matched by our well credentialed, dedicated lawyers in Property, Corporate & Commercial, Dispute Resolution and Workplace Relations.
