Defending Corporate and Board Interests in a High-Stakes Franchise Dispute

KKZ represented a company and its management board in a complex litigation involving personal liability claims and damages exceeding PLN 8.5 million over the termination of a franchise agreement.

Our Law Firm represented a company and its management board members in a dispute concerning PLN 8.5 million in damages related to the early termination of a franchise agreement. The plaintiff claimed the termination was unjustified and aimed at replacing her with a politically connected franchisee, resulting in lost business opportunities. The company argued that the plaintiff materially breached the agreement, justifying immediate termination. A key challenge in this case is defending the management board members, who are also being held personally liable. Our Firm developed a comprehensive litigation strategy to demonstrate that the board acted within its authority and that the termination was fully justified.
