Franchising & Retirement Villages
Franchising & Retirement Villages
Considered review of franchise agreements, disclosure documents and retirement village contracts — long, complex documents that deserve careful attention before signing.

Franchise agreements
We review franchise agreements, disclosure documents and the Franchising Code of Conduct disclosure regime for prospective franchisees, and explain ongoing obligations, fees, territory rights and exit arrangements in clear terms.
Retirement village contracts
Retirement village contracts can be long and contain financial mechanisms — entry contributions, deferred management fees and exit conditions — that are unfamiliar to many incoming residents. We review the contract and explain the practical effect for you and your family.
When to seek legal advice
- You are considering buying into a franchise system.
- You or a family member is moving into a retirement village.
- You want a frank review of the financial terms before signing.
