1. The Client Who Visited the Uijeongbu Attorney
The client who visited the Uijeongbu attorney had entered into a contract with a brand company and conducted business, but due to various unexpected problems he encountered great difficulty, and he urgently requested a consultation with the Uijeongbu attorney.
How the Client Came to Visit the Uijeongbu Attorney
This is the account of the client who held a consultation with the Uijeongbu attorney.
The client had entered into a franchise agreement with the brand company B and was operating a store.
While operating the store, he learned that the quality of the main products supplied by the head office differed from the description given at the time of the contract.
As complaints from customers mounted due to the decline in product quality, sales dropped sharply, and a situation even arose in which many customers demanded refunds.
Accordingly, the client requested that the head office resolve the problem on several occasions, but the head office did not respond to this at all.
Ultimately, the client came to consider terminating the contract with the head office.
The client visited the Uijeongbu office of Daeryun Law Firm and held a legal consultation.
