Resolve accidental franchising issues

Accidental franchising is governed by the Franchising Code of Conduct. If you are 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 help you 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 $1,000 + GST.

We handle everything by phone, email and video call, so you never need to visit an office. Once you request a quote, one of our legally trained consultants will get back to you within one business day with a fixed-fee proposal. If you accept, we will pair you with a specialist lawyer who will guide you through the process. All documents are delivered digitally, and you can communicate with your lawyer in the way that suits you best. It is the same quality legal advice you would get from a traditional firm, just without the commute, hourly billing surprises or the formality.
