FRANCHISE BUSINESS SOLUTIONS

Franchising is highly regulated in the United States at the state and federal level. At the federal level, the Federal Trade Commission requires franchisors to provide a detailed disclosure document, which contains specific information about the franchisor and the proposed franchise agreement. In addition, many states require franchisors to register before they can offer or sell franchises in those states.

David T. Azrin, a partner at the law firm Gallet Dreyer & Berkey LLP, assists existing and start-up franchisors, as well as franchisees, comply with the applicable laws, prepare and review the necessary documents, and resolve disputes.

Mr. Azrin assists domestic and foreign franchisors to prepare franchise disclosure documents, franchise agreements, master franchise agreements, licensing agreements, corporate documents, and employment agreements. He also assists clients with trademark matters, leases, corporate governance, and employment matters.
