Andrew Fraser

The firm aims to be one of the leading sources of professional franchising advice in the UK both for people looking to grow their business through franchising and for those looking to invest in a franchise opportunity.

Mr Fraser was formerly a senior associate at Harper Macleod LLP, where he spent seven years advising clients on franchising and a wide range of commercial contracts, intellectual property and brand protection matters.

He said: “With the spotlight firmly on franchising in Scotland with Scottish Franchise Week starting next week I believe there has never been a better time to introduce a new and energetic specialist law firm with franchising at its heart.”

He added: “We will be providing boutique legal services to franchisors and franchisees throughout the UK and we are also highly experienced in advising international brands looking to enter the UK and European markets. Our firm is in a unique position of having in-depth commercial experience of franchising together with the often complicated legal aspects.”
