Franchise Disputes

Franchise disputes occur when disagreements arise between franchisors (the companies granting franchise rights) and franchisees (the individuals or groups operating a franchise). Common issues include contract violations, unfair practices, royalty payments, and operational control. These disputes can lead to legal action, affecting business relationships and profitability. Resolving them often involves negotiation, mediation, or litigation, depending on the severity of the issue. A successful resolution can maintain a franchise's reputation and ensure both parties can continue to operate effectively within the agreed-upon framework.
