Need help with a franchising matter?

Franchise attorneys work with franchisors, companies like Subway or McDonald's who license their business model to owner/operators, and franchisees. There are specific laws that govern franchise rights and responsibilities and regulate their operation. A franchise attorney will design franchise programs, structure franchise agreements, form distribution agreements, negotiate contracts, manage compliance and resolve disputes.
