Franchise Law

Franchise law is a complex area of practice. Any review of a franchise opportunity must be focused on the risk a potential franchisee is taking in usually making such a significant, life-changing investment of their time and money.

That begins with a conversation about the client’s situation and goals. From there, a review of the Franchise Disclosure Document and the Franchise Agreement is critical to understand what the client is facing risk-wise going forward as part of the franchise system.

If the client decides to purchase a franchise location, often we work with them to negotiate a more favorable franchise agreement. Once a determination is made to go proceed, we assist the client with their company formation, and other needs they may have concerning building leases, licensing, employee relations and vendor contracts as applicable.

Some of our franchisee clients include systems like Marriot Hotels, Comfort Inn Hotels, Big O Tires, Ninja Coding, Woodhouse Spas, Which Which, Nutrilawn, Jump Bunch, School of Rock, Bike Caffe, Eaglerider, Batteries Plus, NY Bagel Deli, SEVA, Fat Shack, Thriveworks and TailoredLiving.
