Franchising can offer tremendous business advantages but at the same time, present unique legal challenges. When lawyers litigate franchisee and franchisor disputes, they require specific knowledge of the applicable legislation and relevant legal experience. At Chand & Co., we are not just experienced litigators, we are also experienced problem solvers.

The arrival of the Arthur Wishart Act has altered the existing landscape and commercial dynamic between franchisors and franchisees. When problems arise, the lawyers at Chand & Co. understand the potential legal implications and the necessary steps to take to ensure your legal rights are protected.

At our firm, we work collaboratively to ensure our clients avoid unnecessary disputes and assist in managing our client’s needs from the initial decision to franchise to any litigation arising from our clients’ business.

Chand & Co. has garnered franchise litigation experience in the following areas:

• Breach of franchise agreements;
• Claims of misrepresentation;
• Default, termination and injunction proceedings;
• Litigation strategy;
• Enforcement of Restrictive and non-competition covenants;
• The Arthur Wishart Act;
• Allegations of unconscionability, duress, negligence, negligent misrepresentation and breach of fiduciary duty
