Pepe & Hazard represents growing businesses
utilizing the franchise business model. Properly implemented and developed,
franchising creates substantial opportunities for geographic and economic
expansion. The legal and operational
considerations, however, are vast and complex. Successful franchising requires experienced counsel. Our franchise group is led by senior business attorneys drawing expertise
from several practice areas, including outside general counsel services, contract
law, business operations law, federal and state franchise compliance and
disclosure laws, licensing and distribution law, intellectual property law,
real estate law and dispute resolution. Our
franchise business clientele ranges from multi-national franchisors to large
franchisees growing within national franchise systems. Our attorneys also have served as counsel to
large national lenders with substantial franchise portfolios. |
