As experienced franchise lawyers, we can help businesses or companies to expand their brand or system. A franchisor is a company that has developed a system and name and grants a third party the right to operate a business under the system and name in exchange for the third party paying certain fees.
The FTC (Federal Trade Commission) as well as each individual state has enacted legislation that regulates the sale of franchises and the relationship between the franchisor and its franchisees. Because state laws vary from state to state, franchise law can often be quite complex.
Our attorneys offer consultation for the franchisor or franchisee and can explain the necessary regulatory requirements. We can draft franchise agreements, negotiate disputes, misrepresentations, franchise violations, terminations, draft non-compete and non-disclosure agreements, or any other franchise-related issues.
