The floated changes to Australia’s franchising
laws, for which the consultation period is still open, could have
material impacts on the viability of some franchising models in
Australia, argues one BigLaw partner.
In this episode of The Lawyers Weekly Show, host Jerome Doraisamy
speaks with Dentons partner Robyn Chatwood about her background and
interest in franchising law, the proposed changes to Australia’s
franchising laws and why such changes are in motion, how and why
this space sees voluminous change, and the potential consequences
and outcomes from the proposed changes currently in
consultation.
Chatwood also delves into the material impacts on the market and
whether or not franchises will want to do business in Australia,
how best lawyers in this space can advise clients in the face of
such change, navigating client fears and anxieties in this time,
and issues surrounding deregulation.
