Litigation without insurance can be a bankrupting experience. We can make sure that you are adequately protected and that your insurance carrier fulfills its obligations under its insurance contract with you.
Why Franchise Law?
For the Franchisor, franchising presents the opportunity to leverage a great business concept for widespread implementation using the money and manpower of individual investors who devote their energies with the long-term benefits of increased goodwill, market recognition and value accruing to the Franchisor.
For the Franchisee, franchising is an opportunity to have access to a tried and true business concept with a small investment into a joint effort with the Franchisor to achieve a profit.
Franchising can be a win-win opportunity with plenty of money to be made for both Franchiser and Franchisee. However, the waters are filled with sharks and many a Franchisor is not reputable, does not have a tried and true concept or will never fulfill the many promises made to secure a Franchisee. Great care must be taken if life saving are not going to be lost.
