A franchise lawyer is an attorney who possesses the unique knowledge and skill required to help facilitate the purchase, sale, formation, and success of new and established franchises. A franchise lawyer representing a franchisor can help prepare and draft Franchise Disclosure Documents, Franchise Agreements, and state-required filings needed to legally offer and sell a franchise. When representing a prospective franchise purchaser, a franchise attorney will review the Franchise Disclosure Documents and negotiate the Franchise Agreement to help the purchaser establish their new franchise.
There are more than a million attorneys in the United States, but most of them do not focus on franchise law. Franchise lawyers regularly create, negotiate, and review documents that are specifically used for franchising and are able to quickly spot issues for both franchisees and franchisors. Hiring an experienced franchise attorney provides you with an advocate who knows what to look out for during both initial negotiations and any potential disputes.
A good franchise lawyer is both master and jack of-all-trades. The franchise lawyers at Marcus & Boxerman provide the highest caliber legal services, combining knowledge, experience, and skill in not only franchise law, but also business entity formation, employment and labor law, corporate and business transactional law, and commercial litigation and dispute resolution.
