Retailers require advisers who understand not only the specialised areas of franchising and retail, but broader commercial issues across the board. The Keypoint team has significant experience across these areas.

Our experts ensure our clients’ franchising systems comply with the Franchising Code of Conduct, Competition and Consumer Act 2010, employment and property laws and food and advertising standards. We help protect our clients’ brands and systems and assist our clients to enforce brand standards – including trademark and intellectual property protection.

We assist both franchisors and franchisees with advice in managing their other franchising business relationships, including transactions with landlords, suppliers, creditors and banks and in dealing with non-franchise arrangements – such as licensing and distribution networks.
