Where we come in
Five mistakes we often see.
Each one surfaces as a dispute, a compliance notice, or lost brand value.
Franchise agreements with vague brand standards
Ambiguity about brand and operational standards makes it difficult to enforce consistency across a franchise network, or to terminate a non-compliant franchisee.
Labelling that does not match current regulatory requirements
Packaging and labelling requirements are specific and enforced, and outdated labelling is a common, avoidable compliance gap.
Retail leases with unfavourable renewal or exit terms
Long-term retail leases signed without careful review of renewal, rent escalation and exit terms can significantly constrain future flexibility.
Inconsistent policies across online and offline channels
Different returns or pricing policies across channels create both compliance risk and customer confusion.
Delayed trademark enforcement against counterfeits
Letting counterfeit or infringing use continue unaddressed makes it progressively harder to enforce your brand rights effectively.

Questions
Common questions.
General information only, not legal advice. Every situation differs, so speak to us about yours.
What should a franchise agreement cover?
Brand standards, territory rights, fee structure, term and renewal, and clear termination conditions are the areas most often left too vague.
We draft agreements that protect both the brand and the franchisee's investment.
What labelling requirements apply to our products?
This depends on your product category, but generally includes MRP, quantity, manufacturing details and country of origin disclosures.
We review your current labelling for compliance gaps.
Should our online and offline returns policies match?
Generally yes, consistency reduces both compliance risk and customer complaints, though some channel-specific variation may be appropriate and should be clearly disclosed.
How do we protect our brand from counterfeiters?
Trademark registration is the foundation, followed by monitoring and enforcement action including cease and desist notices, customs recordal, and litigation where necessary.
We handle both registration and enforcement.
What should we check before signing a retail lease?
Rent escalation terms, renewal conditions, exit and termination rights, and any exclusivity or use restrictions are the terms most likely to matter later.
We review leases before you sign, not after a dispute arises.
How much does this cost?
Fixed-fee packages are available for common needs like franchise agreements or lease review. Trademark enforcement is scoped based on complexity.
Fees are agreed in writing before work starts.
