We represent franchisors who usually manage an advertising fund and oversee advertising for the entire franchise network. Our strong experience in franchising and intellectual property is put to good use when advising our clients on Advertising and Marketing Law.
We cooperate with the marketing arms of our clients, both internal departments and external agencies, to ensure the legality of their decisions. For example, in the case of new branding, we check the availability of the logos, names and slogans proposed and we then take care to optimally protect the newly chosen image.
