Franchise and Distribution
Members of our Franchise Practice Group help business owners navigate the complex regulatory world of domestic franchise operations, and provide guidance in establishing new franchise concepts, updating existing franchise systems, complying with state and federal disclosure and registration laws, negotiating multi-unit franchise transactions, preparing franchise and licensing agreements, conducting due diligence reviews of proposed mergers, acquisitions, and joint ventures, and resolving disputes between franchisors and franchisees. Decker Jones franchise and distribution lawyers work closely with our Intellectual Property Group to provide our franchise clients with the trademark, copyright, patent, and brand protection strategies and defenses needed to develop strong and lasting franchise systems. Our litigation practice groups also provide critical cross-discipline assistance in resolving internal franchise disputes, intellectual property infringement claims, and other franchise-related disputes.
