Franchise and Distribution

Our firm has extensive experience in representing franchisors in all aspects of their existence from initial formation of the franchise enterprise for start-up franchisors, to counseling some of the largest and most innovative franchise companies in their respective industries. We often act as the franchisor’s “general counsel” and advise and counsel our franchisor clients in all matters involving franchising and franchise relationships, including:

  • business structuring and transactions;
  • regulatory compliance and disclosure;
  • business operations and legal compliance;
  • preparation of franchise documents;
  • initial franchise reviews;
  • dispute resolution;
  • franchisee terminations;
  • international expansion; and
  • trademark protection (domestic and international).
