Franchising is a business model in which a franchisee obtains the right to operate a business using a franchisor’s established brand, products, and/or services. The intricacies of the franchisor-franchisee relationship and the legal aspects that govern it are complex and highly specialized.
A franchisee attorney plays a crucial role in helping franchisees make informed decisions, protect their rights, and navigate the complexities of the franchising relationship. Prospective franchisees need to seek legal counsel to understand their rights and obligations fully and to safeguard their interests when entering into a franchise agreement.
