Want to buy a franchise?

For entrepreneurs who are thinking about buying a franchise, consider the following Franchise Opportunity Review services:

  • One-hour meeting with our franchising lawyers to discuss the opportunity, the goals and expectations of the franchisor/franchisee relationship, and the due diligence regarding the franchise; Review of the franchisor’s Franchise Disclosure Document, including the proposed franchise agreement and other contracts;

  • Advice regarding additional questions to ask the franchisor or other franchisees in the company, identification of risk factors and negotiation points to benefit the potential franchisee.

Contact Us to discuss your options and arrange for a Franchise Opportunity Review.

If you have already purchased franchise rights, Franchise & Business Law Group can assist you by providing a Lease Review, by which the firm’s franchise lawyers review the proposed real estate lease and make recommendations for changes or additional questions to ask and steps to take before you sign the lease.
In addition to assisting you with due diligence and contract negotiation, Franchise & Business Law Group offers more general legal services for your convenience as you establish your business. These services may include:

  • Articles of incorporation/articles of organization Obtaining an employer identification number Preparation of by-laws or an LLC operating agreement Minutes of organization and stock certificates Employment agreements/non-compete agreements for employees Review and advice regarding other contracts (advertising, etc.)

  • General legal representation as your business counsel, including referrals to other qualified professionals for accounting, financing, insurance and real estate services.

“Thank you for helping me to navigate through the maze of franchise negotiation.  Your strong commitment to the legal protection and simultaneous success of your client(s) was apparent during our entire relationship.

Once you reviewed the proposed franchise agreement, your counsel gave me a basis to make confident decisions regarding the negotiation and purchase of my franchise.  Your expertise in Franchise Law made it possible to understand and successfully maneuver through a web of bureaucratic language and you simplified an arduous negotiating process.

I believe the success of my negotiation stemmed from your understanding of franchise law and had I used a different lawyer, I would not have had such a beneficial franchise contract.  I will recommend your Law firm to anyone that is searching for a committed Franchise Lawyer.

I hope I won’t need to retain you in the future, but in the event that I do, I will welcome your counsel again.”
