Franchise

Franchise companies operate their businesses at the intersection of statutes, contracts, regulations, and litigation. They turn to Parker Hudson because our attorneys are experienced in each of these areas — and because we have a long record of success in franchise matters of many kinds. Our attorneys provide strategic advice to franchise companies concerning all manner of business and dispute resolution issues. And we do it effectively and efficiently.

We provide our franchisor clients with both insight and foresight, with a focus on practical and proactive strategies that avoid litigation and/or regulatory disputes where possible. In the event a dispute does arise, we also litigate aggressively and smartly with strategies grounded in our clients’ business objectives — not in legal abstracts.

In addition, we represent private equity groups and other purchasers in the acquisition of interests in franchise companies.

At Parker Hudson, we serve franchise companies of all sizes, and we work hard to build long-term relationships with clients who turn to us again and again, whatever their legal needs may be.

Our attorneys are thought leaders who regularly write, speak, and serve in leadership roles for the American Bar Association Forum on Franchising and the International Franchise Association.
