Franchise Disputes

We understand that just as some elements of franchise agreements should be unalterable, there must be scope for change and to reflect developing situations and relationships. Whatever your circumstances, we have the knowledge and expertise to assess the full details of the franchise agreement, so that you can pursue the strategy that is right for your interests and move forward in your commercial enterprise.

Wellers are experienced in acting for franchisors and franchisees in respect of preventing and resolving disputes. We can deliver resolutions via Alternative Dispute Resolution and, whenever appropriate, are also able to pursue a case robustly via court proceedings.
