In this episode of The Lawyers Weekly Show, host Jerome Doraisamy speaks with Dentons partner Robyn Chatwood about her background and interest in franchising law, the proposed changes to Australia’s franchising laws and why such changes are in motion, how and why this space sees voluminous change, and the potential consequences and outcomes from the proposed changes currently in consultation.

Chatwood also delves into the material impacts on the market and whether or not franchises will want to do business in Australia, how best lawyers in this space can advise clients in the face of such change, navigating client fears and anxieties in this time, and issues surrounding deregulation.
