Missouri Franchise Agreement Attorney
Purchasing a franchise can be an effective way to realize the dream of business ownership. But success is not a sure thing, even when dealing with proven franchise operations. To protect your interests, it is important to seek advice from an attorney who is experienced in franchise law.
The attorneys of Allan & Summary, L.C., can help you avoid the potential pitfalls involved in purchasing, owning or selling a franchise business. We have successfully represented clients in transactions or disputes with a wide range of major franchise operations, including Domino's, CarX, Meineke, Hardee's, IHOP, Medicine Shoppe and Pasta House, to name a few.
Buying a Franchise
The majority of our franchise law clients are people who are purchasing a franchise. We will carefully analyze the franchise offering document, called the franchise disclosure document (FDD). Because of our experience in this area of law, we are able to help you understand what this complex document really says so you will understand your risks and responsibilities and the company's responsibilities to you.
The FDD is voluminous, but it is not comprehensive. There may be important issues that it does not address. We will identify and resolve these issues so that you can start your business venture on a firm foundation.
Franchise Litigation
We also represent franchisees in disputes with their franchisors. Did your franchise fail because the franchisor did not advertise for you as promised? Did the franchisor open too many competing franchises in the same area? Were you sued by your franchisor for starting a competing business?
Our lawyers will protect your rights in and interests as we work to resolve the issue in the most efficient and cost-effective manner possible.
