May 2025 – We are pleased to release our
Franchising Law Handbook—a comprehensive
guide developed by Kinstellar's team of IP and competition law
experts across our jurisdictions. The initiative was led by Partner
Natalia Kirichenko to support businesses navigating the
increasingly complex and fast-evolving legislation in this
field.
According to the US Department of Commerce, franchising
contributes around USD 2.3 trillion to the global economy annually,
making it a powerful model for business expansion across various
sectors.
This Handbook brings together the expertise of our lawyers
across multiple jurisdictions, offering practical insights into key
legal frameworks and regulatory requirements. It is designed to
serve as a hands-on tool—whether you are launching a
franchise, expanding internationally, or managing cross-border
compliance challenges. The guide reflects our direct experience
advising clients on structuring and negotiating franchise
agreements,
