What is accidental franchising?
Accidental franchising occurs when you’re seemingly just licensing Intellectual Property but the law (under the Franchising Code of Conduct) deems that you are actually franchising. Our lawyers can help you avoid this.

Accidental franchising is governed by the Franchising Code of Conduct. If you are being more involved in the sale, service, promotion or distribution of the brand you are “licensing” – you could be accidentally franchising. Our lawyers can provide guidance specific to your situation.
As part of this package, a Sprintlaw lawyer will review information about your intellectual property licensing arrangements, and identify key risks and suggested actions to comply with franchising and licensing laws. You’ll also receive phone consultations with a Sprintlaw lawyer who will take your instructions, advise you on the legal issues you need to know and answer any questions you may have.
Our fixed-fee Accidental Franchising Legal Advice starts at $1000 + GST.
