Franchise Agreements in Iraq – Legal Framework and Required Procedures

Franchising in Iraq operates under a highly regulated framework.
Unlike many jurisdictions, franchise agreements are not treated as standalone contracts but are typically classified as commercial agency arrangements under Iraqi law.

Careful legal structuring is essential to avoid regulatory delays, contract unenforceability, and potential criminal exposure.
