The British Franchise Association have lists of solicitors, but also have Consultants who can help with getting the bones of an agreement together before you get near the lawyers. Probably best VFM that way.

You could try Antonia Barber here:

who I know has expertise in franchising. I also have first hand experience of one of the Consultants, who I would be happy to recommend

I would like to hear from UK-based small business owners who are planning or already running international partnerships, whether for trade, manufacture etc.

Striding Out regularly undertakes research to better understand the challenges and opportunities facing small business owners to inform government strategy and business support delivery and we are currently focusing on international trade.

It will only take five minutes to fill in the survey and you could have the chance to win a fantastic prize....
