Trusted counsel for professionals and businesses across Ontario
KLF acts for both franchisors and franchisees across a range of franchise systems in Ontario. The franchise relationship is governed by a distinct statutory and common law framework, and franchise disputes present unique legal and commercial considerations. Clients on both sides of the franchise relationship turn to KLF for practical, experienced advice.
Ontario's Arthur Wishart Act imposes disclosure obligations on franchisors and establishes franchisee rights that cannot be contracted out of. KLF advises franchisors on compliance with their disclosure obligations and assists franchisees in evaluating the adequacy of disclosure they have received. Failure to comply with disclosure requirements can give rise to the statutory right of rescission, which carries significant financial consequences.
