Franchise Litigation

Franchise litigation refers to legal disputes that arise between franchisors (the companies that allow others to operate their brand) and franchisees (the individuals or companies that run the franchise). These conflicts can involve issues like contract violations, unmet obligations, or disputes over fees and royalties. Franchise litigation is governed by franchise law, which includes specific regulations and protections designed to ensure fair treatment of both parties. Resolving these disputes often involves mediation, arbitration, or court proceedings, and understanding the intricacies of franchise agreements is crucial for both franchisors and franchisees.
