About Alternative Dispute Resolution

In every case, we make an early assessment of the client’s position, advise of the range of options available and recommend an approach that is efficient, commercial and cost effective. Alternative dispute resolution processes, in which we have experience, include:

  • Round table discussions

  • Mediation

  • Expert determination

  • Arbitration

Our commercial team works closely with our dispute resolution team when disputes arise for either Franchisors or Franchisees. In respect of a Franchisor, this can often entail:

  • Negotiation and mediation of issues where the Franchisee has operating problems

  • Restraint issues with agreement breaches

  • Recovery of franchise fees

  • Poorly performing Franchisees, including workout arrangements

For Franchisees, we have experience in assisting with:
Misrepresentation and fraudulent claims
Non-performance by the Franchisor of marketing and public relations obligations
Inappropriate or wrongful use of franchise fees, contrary to the agreement
Seeking negotiated or amended terms and conditions of the franchise agreement
Restraint on competition issues after expiry or earlier termination of agreements
Australian Consumer Laws and Australian Privacy Principles advice and litigation
