Franchise Litigation

Preferred litigation counsel for national franchise systems.

Deep, specialized experience handling franchise disputes for both franchisors and franchisees — from wrongful termination and encroachment claims to territory and financial disputes.

Overview

Franchise litigation is a niche practice in which we have substantial experience. We have represented franchisees and franchisors in numerous franchise systems in both litigation and arbitration matters across the country.

Given the nature of the franchise relationship, we understand the complexities associated with litigation in this industry and have effectively represented our clients during such difficult times.

What We Handle

Specific areas of focus

Franchisor-Initiated Litigation
Franchisee and Dealer Lawsuits Against Franchisors
Breach and Default Litigation
Financial Disputes
Territory Disputes
Trademark / Trade Secret Infringement
Breach of Restrictive Covenants

Our Approach

We understand the economics of the franchise relationship as well as any firm in the country. That means we can assess exposure quickly, negotiate from strength, and litigate efficiently when a deal cannot be reached. We represent both sides of the relationship, giving us unmatched perspective on how these disputes unfold.
