Franchise Agreement Review & Negotiation

The franchise agreement is a legally binding contract that governs your relationship with the franchisor. We meticulously review franchise agreements to identify potential risks and negotiate favorable terms on your behalf. We ensure that you understand your rights and obligations before signing the agreement, advising on clauses related to royalties, advertising fees, renewal options, territory rights, termination clauses, and compliance requirements.

FDD Review and Analysis

The Franchise Disclosure Document (“FDD”) contains a wealth of information about the franchise system. We thoroughly analyze the FDD to identify potential red flags and assess the viability of the franchise opportunity. We help you understand the franchisor's financial stability, litigation history, training and support programs, potential profitability, and any hidden fees or obligations.

Franchise Dispute Resolution & Litigation

Disputes can arise in any franchise relationship. We provide skilled representation in franchise disputes, including breach of contract, territorial disputes, and royalty disputes. We strive to resolve disputes efficiently and effectively, whether through negotiation, mediation, arbitration, or litigation. We represent franchisees in breach of contract claims, resolve territorial disputes, handle royalty and fee disputes, and protect franchisees from unfair termination practices.

Franchise System Development

Developing a successful franchise system requires careful planning, legal knowledge, and a nuanced understanding of our client’s needs and wants. We assist franchisors in developing their franchise systems, including creating a comprehensive franchise business plan, developing standardized operating procedures and training programs, establishing a strong brand identity and marketing strategy, and structuring the franchise system to comply with federal and state regulations.

Drafting and Reviewing Franchise Agreements and FDDs

The franchise agreement and FDD are the cornerstones of your franchise system. We draft and review these documents to ensure compliance with federal and state regulations and protect your interests. We craft clear and enforceable franchise agreements, prepare accurate and compliant FDDs, update these documents to reflect changes in the law, and ensure that all documents are consistent with your brand standards and business objectives.

Franchise Registration and Compliance

Franchise registration and compliance are essential for operating a legal franchise system. We assist franchisors in registering franchises with the appropriate regulatory agencies, preparing and filing annual reports, complying with state franchise laws and regulations, and maintaining accurate records and documentation.

Trademark and Intellectual Property Protection

Your brand is your most valuable asset. We help franchisors protect their trademarks and other intellectual property through trademark registration and enforcement, copyright protection for marketing materials and training programs, trade secret protection for confidential business information, and licensing agreements for intellectual property rights.

Common Franchise Disputes in Miami

Franchise relationships, while often successful, can sometimes lead to disputes. Understanding the common types of disputes can help you proactively address potential issues.

Breach of Franchise Agreement

A breach of a franchise agreement occurs when either the franchisor or franchisee fails to comply with the terms of the agreement. This can include failure to pay royalties, failure to meet performance standards, or violation of brand standards.

Territorial Disputes

Territorial disputes arise when a franchisee believes the franchisor has violated their exclusive territory rights by allowing another franchisee to operate too close to their location.

Royalty and Fee Disputes

Royalty and fee disputes occur when there is disagreement over the amount or calculation of royalties or other fees owed to the franchisor.

FDD Violations and Misrepresentation

FDD violations and misrepresentation occur when the franchisor provides false or misleading information in the FDD, leading the franchisee to make an uninformed decision.

Termination and Renewal Issues

Termination and renewal issues arise when the franchisor attempts to terminate the franchise agreement prematurely or refuses to renew the agreement on reasonable terms.
