Our Methodology

How We Approach Each Engagement

Every engagement at Kembang Legal follows the same structured sequence — adapted in its specifics to the business model and complexity of each matter.

01

Consultation

We begin by understanding your business model, the nature of the arrangement, and what you need the advisory work to achieve.

02

Fee Confirmation

Before drafting or advisory begins, we confirm the scope and fee in writing so there are no surprises.

03

Drafting & Review

We draft the agreement or prepare the advisory document, with an internal review before delivery to the client.

04

Negotiation Support

Where needed, we support the negotiation process and assist with finalisation of the agreed document.

Service 01

Franchise Agreement Drafting

A well-drafted franchise agreement is the foundation of a functioning franchise system. It needs to be specific enough to govern the actual operational relationship, flexible enough to accommodate growth, and clear enough to be understood by both parties without requiring constant legal interpretation.

Kembang Legal prepares franchise agreements that cover the grant of franchise rights, territorial scope and exclusivity arrangements, fee structures including initial and ongoing royalty terms, operational standards and training obligations, intellectual property usage provisions, and termination and renewal mechanisms — all drafted with reference to the FLA (Singapore) Code of Ethics.

  • 1

    Initial consultation to map the business model and commercial terms

  • 2

    Drafting of all core agreement provisions

  • 3

Service 02

Licensing Structure & Negotiation

Licensing arrangements for brands, technology, content, or proprietary systems carry different risk profiles depending on how they are structured. Selecting the wrong licensing model — or neglecting quality control and IP protection provisions — can create complications that are difficult and costly to address later.

Our licensing advisory covers the full range of structuring decisions: single-territory versus multi-territory models, master licensing and sub-licensing arrangements, royalty and fee design, quality control mechanisms, and IP protection terms. We advise both businesses seeking to license out their assets and those entering licensing relationships with established brands.

  • 1

    Assessment of licensing objectives and appropriate model selection

  • 2

    Royalty structure and quality control framework design

  • 3

    IP protection provisions and territorial scope drafting

  • 4

    Negotiation support with the counterparty through to agreement

Service 03

Regulatory Compliance for Franchises

Operating a franchise network in Singapore involves obligations across several regulatory areas simultaneously. New franchise entrants and established networks expanding their operations both face the challenge of ensuring compliance is maintained not just at the head franchisor level but across the entire network.

Our compliance advisory covers business registration requirements under ACRA, employment obligations for franchise staff, PDPA data protection compliance across the network, and competition law considerations as they apply to vertical agreements between franchisors and franchisees. Each engagement produces a tailored compliance checklist alongside advisory on disclosure obligations and support for any regulatory inquiries that arise.

  • 1

    Review of current franchise model and operational structure

  • 2

    Identification of applicable regulatory requirements

  • 3

    Preparation of tailored compliance checklist

  • 4

    Advisory on disclosure obligations and ongoing compliance maintenance
