In Austria there is no franchise law that explicitly regulates this internationally important distribution method. Therefore, when drafting or reviewing franchise contracts, reference must be made to numerous legal bases of Austrian commercial law in order to make the regulations conform to the law. Our services for franchisors and franchisees are therefore usually provided before, during and at the end of the franchise cooperation.
