Most disputes in a franchise relationship surface at one of two points: when the term is ending and renewal isn't guaranteed, or when one side wants out before the term is up. Renewal conditions - notice periods, fresh fees, updated terms - are often less generous than franchisees expect, and termination clauses can be triggered by breaches that aren't always obvious until they've already happened.
We advise both franchisors and franchisees through these moments - reviewing renewal notice requirements well ahead of the deadline, and working through exit or termination options so you know your position before you act.
