We supported a US based Franchisor, who operates in the arts and educational space, as they expanded their franchise operations into the UK as a first step in developing the business and franchise network in the UK. Our team provided comprehensive guidance on structuring their franchise offering, ensuring it was compliant with local laws and regulations in each jurisdiction. We assisted with the preparation and adaptation of franchise agreements, advised on intellectual property protection, and coordinated with overseas counsel to address jurisdiction-specific issues. Additionally, we offered ongoing strategic advice relating to the launch, helping the Franchisor navigate cross-border challenges and establish a successful international franchise network, whilst also laying the foundations for European growth.
