Introduction

A franchise agreement must protect a repeatable brand and operating system while giving the franchisee a commercially workable business model. Inadequate disclosure, unclear territory, uncontrolled sourcing, weak quality obligations or disproportionate termination rights can destabilize the entire network.

This course develops a structured approach to franchise contract drafting and compliance, recognizing that mandatory rules vary by jurisdiction. Participants address the grant, fees, trademarks, operating manuals, training, supply, marketing, data, audit, renewal, transfer and termination. Scenario exercises align legal clauses with day-to-day network governance, helping franchisors and franchisees understand obligations, manage non-compliance and protect customers and brand value.
