Prudence and sound business judgment dictates that a lawyer should be consulted at the earliest possible stages when one is considering entering franchising. Franchise law is not easily labeled. It is actually a collection of many different types of law –including agency law, anti-trust law, employment law, contract law, administrative law, trademark and patent law, debtor/creditor law, tort law, trade secrets law, financial services law, and international law.

Franchise law can be a trap for the uninformed so don’t cut back on solid legal advice. You will likely not be able to recall what you spent money on last year by dining out but you will never forget how much you lost by not hiring an attorney if you find yourself in a dispute involving the legal intricacies surrounding the franchising documents and agreements that YOU signed.
