Help for Franchisors and Franchisees
Our office has built a proud reputation of proven success helping businesses and entrepreneurs across North Texas navigate a sometimes complicated legal landscape. We understand the need for experienced, efficient and dependable guidance whether you are just getting your organization off the ground or are involved in a dispute.
We bring that same level of experience, ability and client focus to franchises, providing counsel for companies looking to expand their service through franchising and those looking to invest into a brand.
- Franchisors — With 15-plus years of experience, we can help your company draft, review or revise franchise agreements or prepare first offering circulars. We also help you get registered with state agencies, and assist you in making the necessary legal preparations for selling your brand. Our attorneys also assist in direct relations with franchisees, including collections or terminations.
- Franchisees — We represent clients at all phases of a franchise relationship, and will help you review an offering circular to confirm that you are making the right deal. Many of our clients are prospective purchasers seeking to better understand the legal implications of becoming involved in a franchise. Once you've made the decision to buy, we can review and explain your contract and offer long-term business support solutions such as obtaining real estate or acquiring capital.
A franchise purchase is, in many ways, like any other business transaction or contract. When you work with our lawyers, you get the benefit of highly experienced business/commercial law attorneys who are intimately familiar with the workings of franchises.
