We assist clients with:

• Review and explanation of Franchise Disclosure Documents (FDDs)
• Analysis of franchise agreements and ancillary contracts
• Identification of restrictive covenants, renewal conditions, and exit limitations
• Negotiation of key economic and operational terms
• Structuring franchise sales, transfers, and assignments
• Coordination with franchisors to obtain required approvals
• Risk assessment prior to signing or closing

Franchise-Specific Transaction Considerations
Franchise transactions raise issues not present in ordinary business sales, including required franchisor consent, rights of first refusal, transfer fees, and mandatory re-franchising on current agreement forms. We help clients anticipate and navigate these constraints to avoid unexpected exposure.
