Purchasing a Franchise? Let Us Help You With The Process.

Purchasing a franchise is an exciting time! However, it can quickly become a nightmare. Failure to properly consider all information can lead to financial devastation. (Ask many of our clients!)

We are an experienced franchise law firm. We can assist those who are considering the purchase of a franchise. As part of our service, we analyze all documents from the franchisor, the financial condition, and the reputation of the franchisor to name a few. We assist our clients in setting realistic goals and expectations rather than relying on the sales pitch of the franchisor or franchise consultants. Our goal is to assist the client in fully evaluating the risks and opportunities surrounding the franchise.

A Franchise Consulting Company Is Not the Same as A Franchise Attorney.

Most franchise consulting companies only make money by selling franchises. They typically do not highlight the risks or obligations, only the potential rewards. We explain all the pros and cons so that you can make a truly educated decision.

Do not gamble with your financial future. We take franchise consultations so seriously, that we created a separate website full of free resources and details about the services we provide to help you thoroughly research your potential investment before you sign on the dotted line.

Already Own A Franchise? When Franchise Endeavors Go Bad, We’re Here To Help.

If you have purchased a franchise and are having difficulties with the franchisor, we can help. We can assist you in addressing your concerns. If the franchisor misled you, we can be your advocate. Many times the franchisor will make you feel like it’s your fault that you are struggling. However, in some instances, the franchisor has given inaccurate information and has failed to meet its obligations to you.

You are not alone. We have assisted many franchisees in cases/situations against the franchisor. Please contact us (for free and with no obligation) if you have any concerns with your franchisor. Do not try to go it alone. You can bet that the franchisor has its legal team ready to beat you down. Get our experienced franchise attorneys behind you. We will hold your franchisor to its obligations and ensure your business is as profitable as it can be.
