SERVICE
Welcome to our Law
Services section where we provide a comprehensive directory of legal resources
for entrepreneurs searching franchise assistance.
Our law links are
recommended for perspective franchisees. It is generally recommended to
meet with a law professional when considering a franchise purchase. So,
we provide a legal area within the business services section as well.
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.
