Tom is a trusted legal advisor to a diverse range of clients in the franchise community, including franchisors, franchisees and those who are considering a franchise and would like to understand the Franchise Disclosure Document and receive legal counsel before signing a franchise agreement.

Interview Topics:

*Overview of Franchise Regulation in the US?

*Franchise Disclosure Document

*Litigation in the franchise area - types of claims

*Trends in businesses being franchised

*Challenges for franchisors and franchisees.

The value of working with a Franchise Attorney?

A Franchise Agreement is a legal contract that you are entering into and franchise law is specialized. I had one franchisor share with me that an attorney claimed they understood franchise law and then tried to rewrite the state requirements for that industry (Senior Care), which cost the prospective franchisee an arm and a leg.

Be wise, get an experienced franchise attorney, such as Tom Branch to review and explain the documents and the obligations as a franchisee and to let you know if there are any concerns or clauses that need to be balanced.
