Franchising
We have significant experience of franchising and the problems that can arise for franchisors. We prepare new franchise agreements, deal with sales of franchise businesses, the termination of franchises and the competition law and other issues that can arise.
Agreements with Customers and Suppliers
Customers are wonderful but businesses need to know who is at risk and what happens if things go wrong or something unexpected happens. It is cheaper and less disruptive to agree these in advance and avoid disputes. Among other commercial agreements we prepare conditions of business, distribution agreements, and agency agreements.
Agreements with Investors and Partners
Newtons, Harrogate, regularly prepare agreements between the owners of businesses, whether these are shareholder agreements, partnership agreements or investment agreements. No business lasts forever but as well as providing for the end of the arrangement a well drawn agreement can ensure everyone has the same expectations about what they will be doing, how the business will be run and how they can exit the business.

Testimonials
"An excellent personal and highly professional service – thoroughly recommended
"
Julian Pitts, Begbies Traynor, Business Recovery Specialist, Leeds
"I recommend the team at Newtons to anyone in need of expert legal advice. From the start their analysis of my case was concise, reassuring and most importantly accurate, as demonstrated by the Judge dismissing the case against me and awarding full costs. I am pleased but not surprised to see that the firm is going from strength to strength. "
