Retail & Franchising
Introduction
Franchise structures and registration, distribution, brand protection and consumer rules for retail, food and consumer brands.
Retail and consumer businesses live on brands, distribution and customer trust. We advise on brand protection, distribution and agency arrangements, consumer protection and e-commerce rules, expansion and commercial disputes.
AZ&P holds a Commercial Franchise Licence from the Ministry of Commerce. We act for franchisors and franchisees on structures, disclosure documents, registration and agreements under the Commercial Franchise Law, and on protecting the brands and know-how that franchising depends on.
