Our law links are recommended for perspective franchisees. It is generally
recommended to meet with a law professional when considering a franchise
purchase. This is a time when you should consult with a professional who
will work in your best interest, and is qualified to review, comment and
negotiate on your behalf.
In most cases, we feel a lawyer is vital when considering a franchise
purchase. The issues surrounding such a complex area of law, combined
with the variable of the dynamic associations that exists in the franchise
relationship necessitates the assistance of a qualified lawyer. Here we
carefully use the term "qualified," since a lawyer whose practice
consists of simple wills and no-fault divorce will not give you the level
of advice that is necessary to enter the franchise industry.
Our law links and banners represent law firms that specialize, or have
made a commitment to this specialty, and most are highly qualified to
review and assist you in your negotiations with a franchisor. How much
negotiating will the franchise do? How many lawsuits have they had? What
happens when the franchise agreement runs out? Can they raise my royalty
at any time? What if they say I am a poor operator, what are my rights?
There are an infinite number of questions that can arise from the decision
to become a franchise owner and this list of qualified law professionals
can help level the playing field.
