Don't I need a top tier law firm to do my legals?
Only if you want to pay top tier prices.
Walk into most law offices and they’ll tell you that the cost of the legals will be $20,000.
That’s because they do work you could probably do yourself, and because they don’t work in your business (but you do) it’s going to take twice as long.
Our model franchise template with user guide for completing it, and franchise disclosure statement with worked example, costs only $1,800. If you need our lawyer's assistance, we have an on-line specialist available for $2,200 per day.
The law relating to franchising is only difficult because there's a lot of it. And whilst no law is simple, the concepts involved in franchise law are no more complex than those involved in any other area of law.
Our lawyers can explain all your obligations to you in simple steps, just like adding one brick to another to make a wall.... with various means of compliance, somethimes climbing the wall, sometimes going uder and sometimes going through.
We do things differently. We assume that you only want to pay lawyers to do stuff you can’t do. So we save time and money by selling you a draft, and a fairly comprehensive user guide. Your job then is to read the guide, propose changes and go from there. Then- when you’ve done your thinking - you need to see a lawyer. We have negotiated with specialists to buy their time in bulk and we pass that low rate on to you. The lawyers can operate more efficiently because they achieve an economy of scale, and make more money even though they have reduced their fees. Everyone wins.
Because we have sourced on-line law firms, we have been able to negotiate substantial savings for you. We've also designed our kits to give you maximum advice in the manuals themselves to keep the need for individual, tailored advice to a miimum. The manuals however have not been written with your specific needs in mind so some advice will always be necessary.
We do not hire lawyers to write the franchise manuals. That’s really not a lawyer’s job, although a lawyer should review the manual before it is published. You don’t need a law degree to observe how a business is being operated.
Phone 03-90163745, 0438577144.
Generally, your lawyer ought to be able to review your changes to our customised documents and edit the changes within a day. Any of our on-line lawyers can do the job for a fixed price of $2200 including GST. |
