Lawyers Committed to Your Franchise’s Success

If you want to buy, manage, or sell a franchise, Taurus Law is ready to help. We have a team of experienced franchise lawyers who can handle a broad range of franchise-related issues. Our franchise litigation lawyers can provide advice and legal services in the following areas:

Franchise Structure

From a franchisor’s perspective, this business model allows a company to grow without the significant financial commitment of an organization that chooses to expand operations to new locations. Management duties are left to the individual franchises. This allows the franchisor to focus on significant aspects of the organization such as national expansion and brand development.

It’s a relatively low-risk investment as the entire business infrastructure, goodwill, and franchise systems are already in place. All that’s left for you (the franchise) is effective management.

Our skilled litigators can work directly with you and on behalf of your franchise. We offer practical legal advice to our clients, ensure their businesses are compliant with the federal and provincial franchise law, prepare and maintain your franchise agreements, and ensure all parties involved in the franchise agreement stay compliant with the franchise law and regulations.

Franchise Contracts

When creating a franchise agreement or contract, there are key details that must be carefully drafted and understood by the parties involved. All the details in the franchise contract are what a franchisor expects from the franchisee and influence all facets of its operations.

It must outline the business territory details, the duration of operation, royalties, franchise fees, renewal rights, marketing, trademarks, termination provisions, and more. Each agreement is unique and must be detailed according to the Alberta Franchises Act. Thus, it’s best to seek the help of an experienced franchise lawyer to draft an agreement or review it before execution.

Disclosures

Any Canadian franchise is legally required to disclose all ‘material facts’ about its operations, including business information and financial statements, to the franchisee. All disclosure documentation must be provided before any form of commitment to the franchise.

At Taurus Law, we have a team of experienced and skilled franchise lawyers ready to prepare the entire franchise disclosure package. We will review the disclosure documents from you (the franchisor) to the franchisee and advise you accordingly.

Franchise Disputes and Litigation

The Taurus Law team is highly experienced and skilled in all areas of Canadian franchise dispute resolution. We can act on behalf of both the franchisor and franchisee in enforcing contractual rights whenever necessary.

From business relationship disputes, breach of contract, unauthorized disclosure of trade secrets, disclosure issues, landlord disputes, and other related disputes, our litigators are willing to facilitate an effective resolution.

Why Do You Need an Experienced Lawyer?

Venturing into a franchise may seem somewhat straightforward. However, it’s not a task even the most experienced business person with knowledge of business law can undertake without the help of a skilled franchise lawyer. You could be risking financial challenges without this critical legal representation and support.

From our experience, franchise contracts aren’t easy to create and understand. They have a complicated language and concepts, which is why it’s recommended to seek the help of an experienced lawyer to understand what you are signing up for. When you need a lawyer who is reliable, experienced, and easy to work with, don’t hesitate to contact us.
