Our offers a range of franchise consulting. Our clients include established franchises coping with operational issues, businesses seeking to purchase or renew franchises, businesses selling franchises, and businesses beginning the process of creating franchises. Our franchise knowledge, and understanding of franchise law, awareness of risk management, and our contract experience allows us to support our clients in extensive range of franchise business related issues.   We advise clients on all matters related to franchise registration and disclosure. We offer our clients franchise finance services, and have extensive experience representing our clients in negotiating financing and loan transactions. We represent multi-unit franchise operators in connection with all aspects of the acquisition and financing of multi-property systems. We have developed close working relationships with numerous franchise lenders and are ready to assist in all franchise related matters.

While we work closely with our clients to avoid the pitfalls involved in the franchise industry, if disputes arise, we have the experience necessary to litigate all issues associated with franchise and distribution relationships.  Typically, we are able to solve such disputes through mediation and arbitration, but when we cannot we aggressively and ethically pursue our client’s interests in court whenever necessary.
