Entrepreneurs, investors and developers interested in building a business often choose to invest in a franchise, and that initial venture may lead to expanding into additional franchise locations. Because of their depth of knowledge of the franchisor system, our Franchise + Distribution team is uniquely experienced in assisting clients seeking a franchise, helping them achieve their goals and protect their investment.
Understanding the franchise agreement and disclosure documents is often a daunting task. However, it can be made much easier with help from our franchise attorneys. We’re able to navigate these dense agreements, reviewing and explaining them in easily-understandable language, and can also negotiate with franchisors on issues that affect our clients’ interests, such as franchise upgrades, renewal rights, post-agreement business ownership and other ambiguous legal protections. There are numerous other issues that our team can assist with when acquiring a franchise, such as financing, real estate, and employment laws.
