The attorneys of Custură, Mocanu şi Asociaţii are particularly experienced and active in the franchise law area. Among distribution contracts, the franchise contract is the most dynamic, while still being relatively easy and cost efficient to reproduce, either in product or in service businesses.

The development and use of distribution networks is growing in Romania, as well as internationally. Franchising can provide both financing and distribution, with great potential for success.

When drafting the distribution agreements, our attorneys examine and evaluate the contractual clauses that may touch upon antitrust provisions and ensure compliance with Romanian and EU legislation and best practices. Our attorneys advise and assist companies newly entering the local market and we represent both supplier and distributor while negotiating distribution agreements. Our firm's counselors aid our clients in the developing of the distribution network, advising them in evaluating the best distribution options for their own profile.

Our law firm represents both franchisors and franchisees. We start by conducting a comprehensive evaluation of the business owner's know how to assess whether there is a legal basis to develop a franchise network, enabling the franchisor to make an informed decision about the opportunity of establishing a network. For the potential franchisee, our attorneys evaluate the opportunity for our client to join the network that he targets. Finally, while developing the franchise contract, we assist the franchisors and franchisees in solving various disputes that may appear.
