It is no longer possible to imagine a modern economy without franchise systems. In such systems the franchisor is interested in a uniform product presentation in a uniform system without being exposed to unbearable risks and costs. The franchisee, in turn, is given an opportunity to prove his entrepreneurial skills from the beginning with an established concept.
For franchisors we draft contracts tailored to their concepts and clarify issues under cartel law if applicable. We also advise franchisees on the typical contractual risks, for example regarding the determination of the franchise fees, the term of the agreement and the provisions for the termination of the agreement.
