Mediation in Franchise Agreements

Mediation in franchise agreements is a process where a neutral third party helps resolve disputes between franchisors (the companies offering the franchise) and franchisees (the individuals or businesses running the franchises). Instead of going to court, both parties meet with the mediator to discuss their issues and seek a mutually acceptable solution. This approach is generally quicker, less formal, and less costly than litigation, allowing both sides to maintain a working relationship. Mediation can help clarify misunderstandings and reach compromises that benefit both the franchisor and franchisee.
