Franchise Law Overview

Our business attorneys work with franchisees, including in the restaurant and real estate industries.

Franchise agreements form the backbone of successful franchise relationships. These contracts are often complex and not always negotiable. We help ensure our clients’ rights and responsibilities are clearly defined and protected, and that they understand their obligations including initial fees, royalties, marketing contributions, and termination clauses.

We also provide guidance on disclosure documents under the FTC’s Franchise Rule, ensuring that all legal requirements are met during the franchising process.

Beyond franchise agreements, our services extend to related real estate and commercial transactions. We support franchisees with commercial leases, property acquisitions, sales, and sale-leaseback arrangements, ensuring each transaction aligns with their business objectives and long-term goals.

We also can assist with mergers and acquisitions of franchise businesses.

With a deep understanding of franchise law and a focus on delivering practical solutions, our team is dedicated to helping franchisees navigate the legal and financial complexities of their ventures.
