Franchisees and Franchisee Associations

A short video introduction to Dan MacKeigan, Member of Siskinds Commercial Litigation Law Group.

Siskinds has counselled independent associations of franchisees in a variety of areas including system growth and transformation, managing relationships with franchisors, contract negotiation, supply chain management, preservation and enhancement of franchisee equity, strategic planning, marketing research, cooperative purchasing and distribution, advertising cooperatives, dispute resolution, mergers and acquisitions of system franchisors, and communications strategy.

We have assisted franchisees in establishing and structuring new associations of franchisees; negotiating and renegotiating standard system franchise agreements; establishing negotiating favourable settlements of both large and small scale legal disputes and litigation; establishing and operating cooperative purchasing and distribution programs; negotiating manufacturing agreements with independent competitive suppliers; and establishing independent, franchisee-owned brand identification.

Moving Forward. We look forward to working together with you to start, expand or re-structure your system, or to solve whatever problem or seize whatever opportunity you're dealing with, anywhere.
