Online CPD Module

Presentation time: 90 minutes

Franchising is often promoted as a fail-safe way to own a business, but it can end up being a one-sided, unfair model for some franchisees.

Lawyers advising franchisees need a good understanding of the key issues and quirks of franchising and what to look for in a franchise agreement. It is also essential to know how general law will apply to ensure their clients have their eyes open to the implications of becoming a franchisee, and are well advised when they are in trouble.

Topics covered will include:

• Advising clients during due diligence before they sign a franchise agreement
• Options for franchisees and franchisors when things go wrong
• An update on common franchise disputes including restraint of trade clauses in franchise disputes
• How impending changes to the Fair Trading Act 1986 and employment law in New Zealand could affect franchise agreements and relationships.

Learning objectives

After competing this module you will:

• Have a robust understanding of the key issues of franchising for future advising of clients.
• Be better able to guide your clients through the potentially tricky franchising minefield.
