What Our Clients Say

"We were expanding our food concept from Singapore into Malaysia and needed a franchise agreement that would work on both sides of the causeway. The Keris Legal team understood the disclosure requirements we would need to satisfy for Malaysian franchisees and structured the agreement accordingly. The process was methodical and the document they produced was something we could actually rely on."

"I engaged Keris Legal to review a franchise agreement before I signed. I had looked at the document myself and thought it seemed reasonable, but the review identified several provisions around termination and post-term restrictions that were quite one-sided. The commentary they provided was clear and gave me specific language to propose as amendments. We eventually reached an agreement that I felt comfortable signing."

"Our software company licenses its platform to distribution partners in four ASEAN countries. The licensing agreements we had in place were holdovers from earlier, simpler arrangements, and they did not adequately address sublicensing or the quality control provisions we needed. Keris Legal restructured the agreements and also flagged withholding tax issues we had not considered. We came away with a much cleaner and more defensible documentation set."

"We commissioned a Franchise Disclosure Document ahead of launching our franchise programme. The team was thorough in compiling the document and made sure we understood what each section was communicating to prospective franchisees. Having a properly structured FDD has given our franchise recruitment conversations a more professional foundation."

"I appreciated that Keris Legal did not just treat my review as a box-checking exercise. The associate I worked with took the time to understand what I was hoping to get from the franchise and used that context to evaluate whether the agreement terms were appropriate. The final commentary addressed the things that actually mattered to me rather than just flagging every minor drafting issue."

"Our consumer brand was entering a licensing arrangement with a regional distributor and I wanted the agreement to properly protect our trademark while still being workable for the licensee. The Keris Legal team structured quality control provisions that were practical rather than burdensome, and handled the negotiation of revised terms professionally. The final agreement was one both parties felt good about."
