We have pioneered the concept of Master Franchisee Buy Outs
(MFBOs) in this sector. Most franchise advisers have hardly heard
of such a concept, but we have advised on two high profile deals of
this nature. Deals such as this are cutting-edge, and illustrate
our fresh approach to international issues. This was not a case of
printing off a precedent agreement, the deals involved innovative
thought and a real understanding of the issues that our clients are
facing in this sector.
