Franchise and Distribution
Successfully growing a business often requires more capital and time
than are available. Our attorneys often aid clients in deciding whether
a franchise or distribution system is a viable alternative for their
business. We then focus on building a legal structure for the business
by preparing the necessary agreements and steering the business through
the many state and federal regulations that govern franchising, including
preparation of the Uniform Franchise Offering Circular. As an integral
part of the operation of their business we assist clients on an ongoing,
daily basis, to effectively enforce their franchise agreements and manage
their system relationships. Matters that we handle include restrictive
covenants, trade secret protection and contract termination. We also
assist clients to avoid and defend against vicarious liability, enforce
system quality and reporting standards and resolve employment issues. Our representation combines our other practice groups, including Real Estate, Litigation, Intellectual Property, and Bankruptcy and Creditor's Rights.
