Franchising offers a powerful model for business growth, but it also comes with legal complexity that demands careful planning. At Kayrouz & Associates, we support both franchisors and franchisees with tailored legal advice on structuring, negotiating, and managing franchise agreements across the UAE and wider MENA region.
Our lawyers advise international brands entering the region as well as local businesses scaling through franchise models. We assist with drafting and localising franchise agreements, registering trademarks and IP, ensuring compliance with UAE commercial agency laws, and managing pre-contract disclosure obligations. For franchisees, we help assess the viability of franchise offers and negotiate fair terms.
We also advise on dispute resolution, renewals, termination, and brand protection strategies. Whether our clients are starting with a single outlet or managing a multi-location franchise network, we provide legal solutions that prioritise clarity, sustainability, and long-term success.
