Lawyers dedicated to master franchise agreements

A master franchise agreement is a complex legal operation which allows franchisors to export their franchise activities to a foreign territory or allows foreign franchisors to establish themselves in France. This operation requires advice and support from lawyers who are experts in the field. The risks and the stakes of this arrangement are considerable for the entrepreneur who embarks on these operations.

Our team dedicated to distribution law assists clients from all sectors in setting up their master franchise agreements. Our support covers strategic thinking on the opportunities for developing the franchise network abroad, or conversely on importing a foreign franchise network to France, as well as the study of the applicable regulations for the effective implementation of the project, the study and implementation of production units within the territory of the master franchisee, and assistance with the negotiations between the franchisor and the master franchisee, as well as any potential negotiations between the master franchisee and the sub-franchisees.

Developing a business concept in the form of a master franchise is a major challenge for entrepreneurs. Our role is to protect the interests of our clients at all stages of setting up such agreements and to ensure that the business concept is reproduced identically or, if necessary, adapted to the local market without distortion.
