Gnocchi Gnocchi Brothers, Australia’s first ‘gnoccheria’, evolved from a 3x3 market stall to a thriving franchise of 12 fast-casual Italian restaurants. As they expanded, the business faced numerous challenges including franchising issues and staffing shortages. LegalVision’s membership model provided comprehensive legal support, facilitating their growth journey. 

The firm assisted with establishing and maintaining their franchise network, visa sponsorships for international chefs, corporate structuring, negotiating complex leasing agreements and IP registration. This multifaceted legal partnership enabled Gnocchi Gnocchi Brothers to secure critical roles, establish new locations, and lay the groundwork for further expansion. The accessible, efficient, and cost-effective nature of LegalVision’s services proved instrumental in supporting the restaurant group’s ambitious growth plans.

LegalVision is very good value for money. They’re incredibly efficient and very good with communications. Most of all, they get outcomes. They’ve got the credibility, understand the system, and know how to apply certain pressure when needed to get results. They’ve done that time and time again with us, which is why we’re happy and continue to use LegalVision. The more we grow as a business, the more we tend to use them, which is fantastic being a member because we get the benefits.
