Franchise and Distribution Mexico, Central & South America

A short introduction to Taimi Williamson, Member of Siskinds Franchise, Licensing & Distribution Law Group.

Mexico, Central America and South America are known as challenging places to do business. Delays are common. Things seem to move at a different pace. Political, business and cultural obstacles abound.

We have experience advising clients on the creation of master franchise relationships, area development arrangements, and direct unit franchising in many of these jurisdictions, as well as assisting franchise clients on intellectual property protection strategies and suggested system adaptations to local cultural and legal norms.

We liaise where necessary with local counsel, but we can often do so in their own language, greatly facilitating the entire process.

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. Contact Taimi Williamson at 800-816-9596 (or 519-672-2121 outside of North America) or electronically at taimi.williamson@siskinds.com.
