Territorial rights are one of the most commonly disputed parts of a franchise relationship - what counts as exclusive, where the boundary actually sits, and what happens if the franchisor opens a competing location or expands into your area. Licensing terms around the brand's trademarks and systems raise a similar question: what you're allowed to use, and what happens to that licence if the agreement ends.
We help franchisees understand exactly what territory and licensing rights they're getting before they sign, and help franchisors draft territorial terms that are clear enough to avoid disputes down the track.
