Work is undertaken with care and discretion, with attention to the commercial context in which legal questions arise.

The approach emphasises attention to the client's commercial position and the practical consequences of the choices available.

02

Focus includes the operational implications of lease terms and the practical interpretation of provisions that look ordinary on first reading.
This work includes
03
Representation of franchisors and franchisees on the establishment, conduct, and termination of franchise arrangements. Disclosure documents, agreement negotiation, and Code compliance.
