Franchisor Legal Audit
Why You Need a Franchisor Legal Audit
If you operate a franchise in Australia, strict compliance with the Franchising Code of Conduct is essential especially considering the recent changes to the Code. At the same time, it’s critical to ensure your business is legally protected and commercially sound.
Even if you already have legal support, it’s worth engaging a franchising specialist, and a member of the Franchise Council of Australia (FCA), to review your core documents, identify key risks, and provide you with a practical legal strategy to strengthen your system.
At Rise Legal, we are proud to be active members of the FCA, reflecting our dedication to excellence, integrity, and best practices in the field of franchising.
As experienced franchise lawyers, we’ve seen firsthand the challenges franchisors face in an ever-changing compliance landscape. That’s exactly why we developed our Franchisor Legal Audit. A targeted, tailored review designed to keep your franchise compliant, protected, and ready to grow.
