Franchise

This practice group includes a number of lawyers, each with their own specialist nterest, who are mainly involved in FRANCHISE issues, such as drawing up franchise contracts, advising franchisers and franchisees concerning existing contracts, as well as advising and litigating in franchise-related disputes.

These lawyers’ extensive experience in FRANCHISE, combined with the fact that a range of specialist areas such as contract law (also involving franchise), landlord and tenant law, national and European competition law and intellectual property are brought together under one umbrella, means that BANNING is able to provide the best possible service to both franchisers and franchisees. All our lawyers are active members of their specialists association, are regular speakers at internal and external seminars and regularly publish in professional magazines and journals.

BANNING’s size enables it to attract specialist lawyers in a range of areas of law that are particularly important for FRANCHISE cases. BANNING is now the regular lawyer for a number of large franchise organizations who appreciate all the specialist knowledge being available within a single law firm. In addition, BANNING strives to have one dedicated lawyer as a point of contact for its regular clients, who is responsible for obtaining specialist knowledge from colleagues, keeps an eye on schedules and deadlines, replies effectively to telephone queries and also has final responsibility for the administrative  settlement.

BANNING would also like to draw your attention to its special online newsletter: the BANNING Franchise Bulletin. This newsletter is published about four times a year and is available free of charge to subscribers. The newsletter keeps you up to date on relevant legal and other developments in the franchise sector, seminars which you may participate in free of charge, publications of interest, as well as recent court judgments on franchise matters.
