Drafting, reviewing and adapting of franchise agreements

The franchise agreement plays the decisive role in any legal advice in the franchise area – on the part of the franchisor as well as on the part of the franchisee – as it is the linchpin of the entire relationship between the two contracting parties. Lawyer and franchise law expert Nina Ollinger is regularly confronted with questions that primarily relate to the franchise agreement.

There is no franchise law in Austria. The basis of the franchise contract is a combination of license and know-how contracts, with additional elements. The franchisor undertakes through the franchise contract to grant the franchisee rights of use to property rights (trademark law, copyright, model law, patent law) and to provide the necessary know-how.

It is important to have an intensive discussion

It is therefore all the more important to deal intensively with the franchise contract with the appropriate legal support. One of the core competencies of lawyer and franchise law expert Nina Ollinger is the creation, review and adaptation of franchise agreements to the current legal situation – also a key issue, especially due to the rapidly changing legal and economic framework conditions.

In addition, Nina Ollinger has decided to make her expertise – with the book “The Franchise Agreement” – available to those who are regularly confronted with this topic. “The practical lighting of the legal aspects of the franchise agreement was the aim of the book,” says Nina Ollinger. The book is dedicated to the common franchise contract clauses and is – clearly formulated and nevertheless comprehensively prepared – a guide for the layman as well as for the expert. With examples from the judicature and a clear structure – with summaries and tips at the end of each chapter – this book is recommended for everyone who deals with the subject of franchising in more detail.

Franchise Agreement and Franchise Manual from a single source testify to quality and minimize risks

The close cooperation with the management consultancy Dr. Ollinger, where franchise expert Dr. Thomas Ollinger takes care of everything to do with strategy and the franchise manual, ensuring you a package from a single source. You do not have to discuss topics twice, and the short information channels not only save you a lot of time, but also receive – if you wish – a complete package from the areas of business and law – from a single source.

The individual approach, paired with professionalism and experience, is so important above all because both the franchise contract and the franchise manual are a calling card and a quality feature of your franchise company. While the franchise contract helps to build trust in potential franchise partners in the negotiations, the franchise manual is more about the quality assurance of the system, but also about establishing the trust of the franchise partner in the system, especially at the beginning of the partnership To support the system and its competence.
