Franchising

Franchising is an increasingly common business format and involves an individual renting a company’s business concept. Franchising occurs in virtually every trade and industry sector where goods, services and/or support service are found. The partnership is controlled by a franchising agreement that can give rise to a number of legally complex issues.

Ekenberg & Andersson assists franchisees and franchisers on such matters as entering into franchising agreements, the formation of franchise networks and the identification of potential legal risks, and in conjunction with conflict resolution.
