Franchise Litigation
Franchise disputes come with significant financial risk and, if not properly handled, can undermine customer and shareholder confidence. Further complicating matters is the potential for class action suits that may cross provincial and international boundaries.
We have represented franchisors and franchisees from a wide range of industries, obtaining the best possible outcome with the least amount of damage to their reputation or time spent in court. Our lawyers are adept at employing dispute resolution strategies, and are skilled litigators in those situations when a case does proceed to trial.
