Gorvins Approach to Franchising and Outsourcing Contracts

The key component of any franchise business is the license (or franchise agreement) granted to the franchisee, allowing the franchisee to trade as their own business under the brand of the franchisor, following a proven business model. At Gorvins we provide services for franchise businesses in a variety of sectors, including:

• Working with businesses to implement a franchising structure

• Drafting and reviewing franchise agreements

• Advising on any regulatory matters

• The transfer, acquisition and disposal of franchise businesses

Outsourcing is a term used to describe the transfer of the operational responsibility for the provision of a business function, or service, to a third party. Our solicitors have experience in advising on the key considerations when preparing or negotiating an outsourcing contract; including key terms regarding pricing structure, agreeing on service levels, duration and termination provisions. Our team will also work with your business to assess whether there may be any implications for employees that will be engaged in the activity that is being outsourced under the provisions of the Transfer of Undertakings (Protection of Employment) Regulations 2006 (TUPE).
