Veronica has extensive experience in assisting new and emerging franchise and licence systems, regularly handling the legal work for the establishment of many leading local, national and international brands.  This experience stretches across a broad range of industries, including food and beverage, health and fitness, professional services, mortgage broking, motor vehicle and related services, real estate and more.
