Franchising offers promising opportunities for companies to expand their brands and for startups to invest in a profitable business venture. However, entering the franchising market in Egypt needs thorough planning, adherence to regulatory requirements, and a well-structured franchise contract.
Sadany & Partners Law Firm provides tailored franchise law services and assists both the franchisors and franchisees to discuss their rights and obligations, organize their relationships and protect their interests flexibly and confidently.
Why You Need a Franchise Lawyer in Egypt
The franchise agreements are comprehensive and long-term contracts that include complicated business terms. The deeply experienced franchise lawyer assists you:
- prepare, revise, and negotiate the franchise contracts,
- Ensure adherence to the Egyptian Commercial Law and other regulations pertaining to the specialized sectors,
- Preserve the intellectual property rights vested in the brand,
- design franchise frameworks to achieve the expansions and minimize the risks, and
- Manage the conflicts or terminations that occur during the franchise relationship.
Without the strong legal protection, the franchising relationship is exposed to unavoidable risks, where the franchisors venture into losing control over their brands, while the franchisees venture into inappropriate contractual terms and heavy financial losses.
