Akkas & Associates Turkish Law Firm attorneys also have particular experience in the area of franchising, and we have counseled and represented many companies in employing this method of expansion, both domestically and internationally. Franchising is a method of distribution that combines the advantages of a branded, centralized, specialized system with the capital and micro-management of local independent business persons to produce a market competitor with critical mass. It can leverage a business's success far beyond its own capital and management resources.

Franchising's inherent geographic expansiveness and long-term business relationships cause it to be affected by an array of dynamic Turkish laws. While these various laws and regulations can be ambiguous and confusing and can create risks such as inadvertent franchising, Akkas & Associates Turkish Law Firm attorneys have the knowledge and expertise to guide our clients to minimize these risks.

The firm regularly represents both franchisors and franchisees. These activities include counseling franchisors regarding disclosure requirements, creating disclosure documents, obtaining registrations in states which require them and assisting in the negotiations with prospective franchisees. The firm also represents its clients in franchise litigation and disputes.
