Wisewould Mahony is a leading and recognised Firm in the area of Franchise Law. The Franchise Group incorporates lawyers with Accredited Specialisation in Business Law, Employment and Commercial Litigation. Our franchise lawyers have 30 years of industry knowledge in Franchising and real business experience.
Our Experience
We are members of the International Franchise Lawyers Association (IFLA), part of a network of franchise lawyers worldwide. The Franchise Council of Australia (FCA), the Franchise Association of New Zealand (FANZ) and the US Commercial Service.
We have been published in the Financial Review, Asia Franchise magazine, Business Franchise magazines and a myriad of recognised franchise and business journals and on local and international websites.
We act for International Franchisors, Master Franchisees and for a number of well recognised franchisors and licensors within Australia.
Our fees
We offer flexible fee options to clients, including fixed fee services based on scope of works. In this way our clients can budget with certainty for their legal spend. The risk of any over run is to us, not the client.
Solutions / Strategies
We are experienced negotiators regularly involved in mediations and without prejudice meetings acting for Franchisors and Franchisees (see link to our article “Why can’t I sue the Franchisor”).
We aim to find pragmatic and commercial options to resolving disputes so people can either exit from the relationship or resolve their disputes and get on with business.
