Franchise

From network expansion to brand protection, our franchise law teams collaborate with colleagues to advise on such related areas as:

• Bankruptcy
• Class actions
• Employment
• Hospitality
• Intellectual property
• Leasing
• Securities
• Tax

Clients value our effectiveness and assertiveness in litigation.

For franchisors, we have led the prosecution of royalty claims against franchisees (including securing attachments and other provisional relief), defended franchisors against actions brought by franchisees for breach of contract and alleged statutory violations, the defense of vicarious liability actions, and enforced IP rights through trademark infringement lawsuits, which included securing restraining orders and preliminary injunctive relief.
