Franchising

Whether you are a franchisor or a franchisee, the lawyers in our Franchising group can provide relevant and astute legal advice.  From the franchisor perspective, we can ensure protection of the franchise investment and intellectual property, draft franchise agreements and disclosure documents, assist with regulatory compliance, and provide advice on the promotion of positive franchise relationships.  From the franchisee perspective, we can help franchisees make informed business decisions and help with the review and assessment of franchise disclosure documents, the review, negotiation and renewal of franchise agreements, dispute resolution, and other matters.  Our advice will always be tailored to the specific needs of our clients and the unique nature of the franchise relationship.

Our assistance extends beyond the confines of franchise law, and we can also assist with licensing, distribution, trademarks, employment issues, real estate and other commercial activities.
