Franchise Agreement Drafting & Enforcement
Franchising is a booming business, with over 3,000 brands in the U.S. alone. As this industry grows, so does the competition. At ARS Counsel, our attorneys have experience negotiating and enforcing franchise agreements. Together, we can ensure you make informed decisions that will benefit your business now and in the future.
Compliance
Franchising can be a great way to grow a business, but it’s important to comply with all applicable laws and regulations. The laws governing franchising are complex and can change quickly. It’s easy to inadvertently violate them, which can lead to government inquiries and investigations. ARS Counsel is here to help. We have experience counseling franchisors and franchisees on compliance with California and Federal law, defending against government inquiries, and resolving disputes.
