Franchising Forum Information

Franchising offers unique opportunities for both franchisors and franchisees; however, it is a complex and challenging legal environment for both parties. Understanding the complexities of this dynamic relationship is crucial for the franchisors and franchisees, as well as professional advisors who have been retained by either the franchisor or the franchisee. Those acting in a professional advisory capacity need a deep understanding of the obligations imposed on, and the rights afforded to, both franchisors and franchisees, as determined by the legal agreements and franchise documentation between the two parties, in accordance with applicable provincial laws and guidelines. We provide a broad range of legal services for franchisors, individual franchisees, groups of franchisees and franchise associations. Our seasoned lawyers draw on many years of experience in franchise law, and a deep understanding of the complexities of the legal and business relationship created by the franchisor and franchisee, including the enforcement of the rights afforded to either party through either the court system or legal proceedings. We have created this website for the purpose of providing insights of value to franchisors and franchisees regarding various aspects of these legal and business relationships. It is our hope that this website will be of value to you. We welcome and encourage all questions or feedback regarding our website or services.
