legal counsel in franchising

Legal counsel in franchising refers to lawyers who specialize in the laws and regulations governing franchise agreements and relationships. They advise both franchisors (the companies offering franchise opportunities) and franchisees (individuals or entities purchasing the franchise) on legal rights, obligations, and compliance issues. Their role includes drafting and reviewing franchise agreements, ensuring disclosures meet legal standards, and resolving disputes. Essentially, they help ensure the franchise system operates within the law, protect clients’ interests, and facilitate a fair and transparent franchise relationship.
