Café Franchise Group, an umbrella company overseeing four franchise brands with 30 stores across eastern Australia, faced the challenge of keeping extensive documentation up to date in a highly regulated industry. With constant changes across their business, they required regular updates to their suite of documents to comply with the franchising code and avoid potential litigation.

LegalVision’s membership provided Cafe Franchise Group with systematic annual reviews and ad hoc updates of crucial documents, including franchise and disclosure documentation. This partnership ensured the company could confidently manage its multi-brand franchise operations while maintaining legal compliance and reducing risk. The flexible, retainer-based model allowed for a more collaborative approach, providing value and peace of mind to the client.

LegalVision has been perfect for my business because we need legal specialists in franchising. We also seek advice from lawyers in other specialist areas within LegalVision. The lawyers understand our sense of urgency when an issue arises and book meetings swiftly, which is very meaningful to me. Their retainer model feels more like a partnership than someone trying to get as many billable hours as possible out of you.
