New partner for franchise law specialists

One of New Zealand's best-established franchise specialists has expanded, with Khushbu Sundarji becoming a partner at Stewart Germann Law Office.

After gaining her law and arts degrees from the University of Auckland, Khushbu worked in general practice for three years in Auckland. Admitted to practise in Victoria, she then spent two years in Melbourne specialising in leasing, wills and estates before returning to Auckland. In 2017, she joined Stewart Germann Law Office where she specialises in franchising, licensing and commercial contracts, and advises franchisees and franchisors across a wide spectrum of various industries throughout New Zealand. 

'I am very excited to become a partner alongside Stewart,' Khushbu says. 'I was motivated to become a lawyer because I love helping people and I think franchising is one of the best examples of people coming together to assist each other to grow. What I like about franchising is the relationship aspect with both the franchisor and franchisee working together to expand the brand and succeed.'
