Chambers USA client quote
Overview
As an adjunct to our Corporate and Finance practice, Calfee's franchise attorneys counsel companies regarding franchising and other product and service distribution models.
We begin the process by assisting clients in deciding the best way to franchise or otherwise market their products or services, and then we continue with preparing and negotiating all related documents.
Our goal is to assist clients in developing and implementing a franchise system or other business model that best suits each client’s needs.
Calfee's Franchise attorneys discuss with clients the elements of franchising and how they often overlap with other forms of distribution, marketing, and operations. We assist in deciding whether a business should be conducted as a franchise or under a different business model, including a critical analysis of the risks and benefits of each.
