Franchising
The success of any franchising operation depends on maintaining professional and cooperative relationships between franchisors and franchisees. The business lawyers of Kane Shannon Weiler LLP advise and represent both franchisors and franchisees in the protection of their individual rights as well as in understanding their unique obligations under the law.
Our clients include local franchises operating in the Fraser Valley and Lower Mainland as well as some with franchise networks extending across Canada. We maintain office locations in Surrey, South Surrey/White Rock and Abbotsford.
Services for Franchisors
We assist clients who own or operate franchises in drafting complex franchise agreements in accordance with franchising laws and requirements as determined by the different Canadian provinces, in particular the provinces of Alberta and Ontario, which have passed legislation specific to franchising agreements.
Services for Franchisees
Our franchising practice also provides services for franchisees in the following areas:
Establishing a new franchise
Purchase and sale of an existing franchise
Review of franchise agreements and related agreements
Negotiation of franchise agreement terms, if appropriate
Assistance with ongoing business operations
Knowing the terms of your franchise agreement as well as any accompanying documentation is critical when starting a new business venture. We strive to ensure our clients fully understand the terms of their commitment so as to position themselves for continued success.
