Franchising is a business relationship where a franchisor develops a brand and a system of doing business and offers franchisees the ability to build their own business using that brand and system. We offer comprehensive legal services to both franchisors and franchisees, helping them navigate the complexities of the franchise relationship.
For Franchisors, we work with clients to develop and manage franchise systems providing guidance at all phases of the process. From advising on trademark and trade secret matters central to protection of the franchised brand to preparing franchise disclosure documents, franchise agreements and operations manuals that form the franchise relationship to working with clients to assure franchisee compliance, we provide full legal support.
For franchisees and those interested in joining franchise systems, we can review and summarize the complicated terms of franchise agreements and negotiate with franchisors.
