Franchising Disputes

Comprehensive Legal Solutions for Franchise Disputes

Protecting Your Rights in Franchise Relationships

We understand that franchise disputes can be stressful and disruptive. Dealing with disagreements within your franchise network can be overwhelming, but you don’t have to face it alone.  At Foye Legal, we offer compassionate and effective legal support to franchisors and franchisees across NSW and Australia, guiding you through every step of the process.

Breach of Franchise Agreements

Franchise agreements set out the terms and obligations of both franchisors and franchisees. Breaches, such as non-payment of fees, failure to meet operational standards, or violation of territorial rights, can lead to significant disputes. Foye Legal helps enforce or defend against claims of breach, ensuring your rights are protected.

Misrepresentation by Franchisors

Franchisees are entitled to accurate and transparent information when entering a franchise agreement. Misrepresentation, such as overstating financial performance or failing to disclose risks, can result in legal claims. Foye Legal assists franchisees in pursuing remedies and franchisors in defending claims, ensuring compliance with the Franchising Code of Conduct.

Termination or Renewal of Franchise Agreements

The termination or renewal of a franchise agreement can be contentious, particularly if there are disagreements over rights or obligations. Foye Legal provides clear advice to ensure these transitions are handled fairly and in compliance with Australian franchise law.

Intellectual Property Issues in Franchising

Franchising often involves the use of intellectual property (IP), such as trademarks, logos, or proprietary systems.

Disputes can arise over unauthorised use, ownership, or licensing of IP. We provide expert guidance to resolve these issues while protecting your brand and IP assets.

FRANCHISING DISPUTES

FAQs

A breach occurs when either the franchisor or franchisee fails to meet their contractual obligations, such as non-payment of royalties, failure to provide support, or unauthorised use of trademarks.

Remedies for misrepresentation may include termination of the agreement, compensation for financial losses, or claims under the Australian Consumer Law (ACL).

Renewal rights depend on the terms of the franchise agreement and compliance with the Franchising Code of Conduct. If disputes arise, legal advice is essential to protect your interests.

IP disputes can be resolved through negotiation or mediation, and in some cases, legal action may be required to enforce rights or address unauthorised use.

If you believe a termination was unlawful or unfair, Foye Legal can help you explore options, such as pursuing compensation or reinstatement, depending on the circumstances.
