Franchise Law

Representing Clients in Franchise Law Matters in New York
and Nationwide

The value offered by Einbinder & Dunn is evident in matters involving franchise law — an area in which the firm has earned a national reputation for its work on behalf of both franchisors and franchisees.

The firm's understanding of both sides of the franchising dynamic is different than most franchise law firms and has proven invaluable to franchisors and franchisees alike. Einbinder & Dunn's extensive experience and broad background allows the firm to see, plan and take next steps based upon a broader understanding of franchise systems.

Lawyers at Einbinder & Dunn assist franchisors with matters ranging from the development of franchise business programs and the structuring of franchise business entities to maximize business flexibility and protect assets, to the preparation and registration (where required) of franchise disclosure documents (FDDs) as well as the filing of trademarks and the management of licensing and intellectual property.

The firm provides an equally broad range of services to franchisees: assisting single unit operators and multi-unit operators with everything from acquiring and selling franchises and territories; reviewing FDDs; reviewing and negotiating franchise agreements, leases and other contracts; forming business entities; and in the formation and representation of franchise associations.

Attorneys at Einbinder & Dunn bring these same qualities to resolving franchise disputes on behalf of franchisors, franchisees and franchise associations for clients here in New York and throughout the U.S. The firm seeks resolution in state and federal court as well as through arbitration and mediation, when appropriate.

Last, Einbinder & Dunn's franchise law clients also benefit from its extensive experience in the areas of commercial litigation, business law, real estate, trusts and estates, and succession planning. It is particularly important to note that Einbinder & Dunn's experience in the area of real estate law allows the firm to provide franchisor and franchisee clients with a comprehensive approach to their legal needs.
