I am a franchisee

Many 5-year agreements come with the right to renew at least twice.

Here’s what you need to know about renewals:

  1. Your agreement likely specifies a window to request a renewal before it expires. Missing this deadline could impact your renewal rights.
  2. During renewals, franchisors may propose amendments to the agreement.
  3. You may have room to negotiate these changes or potentially challenge unreasonable terms.

At Hamilton Pratt, we can help you understand your renewal options and make informed decisions. We offer renewal agreement reviews and negotiations support to assist you with the transition into your renewal agreement.

Franchise agreements are designed for long-term success. However, unforeseen circumstances may necessitate an early exit.While franchise agreements rarely allow unilateral termination by the franchisee, there are often options. At Hamilton Pratt, we have extensive experience guiding franchisees through early exit negotiations.

Our Approach:

We’ll work with you to develop a strategic plan that maximizes your chances of a successful exit.

Disagreements with your franchisor can be stressful and complex. At Hamilton Pratt, we offer a clear and efficient path to resolving your franchise dispute.

Before you commit to legal representation, we provide a free preliminary review of your situation. Our experienced dispute resolution team will analyse your franchise agreement and the commercial context of the dispute. Based on this review, we’ll provide candid advice on whether legal representation is the best course of action for your specific case.

If we believe we can help: We’ll outline a strategic approach to maximise your chances of a successful resolution.

If we feel legal representation isn’t necessary: We’ll offer alternative solutions and guide you toward resources that may be more appropriate.

We understand that every dispute is unique. Our goal is to empower you with the knowledge and support you need to navigate your franchise
