Franchise Compliance +

The legal support you need,
when you need it!

Our Franchise Counsel Services are built around your brand, team, and growth strategy. Our legal and compliance services are provided on a monthly fixed fee basis. Gone is the reactive hourly billing relationship and, in its place, is process and strategy driven legal representation thats always planning a step ahead and within budget!

Your FDD shouldn't be a rushed legal project every renewal season. We work with our clients throughout the year to model and develop FDD enhancements and improvements for the next year. No more last minute FDD updates and registrations. No more after-thought Item 19's that are only just good enough!

We understand the frustration and friction that so many franchisors needlessly experience when it comes time to close deals. That's why we put the processes and the team in place to make sure we turn around franchise agreement addendums and agreements the same day - within 24 hours. No more unproductive attorney communications or wasted time.

Item 19 Financial Performance Representations are foundational to a great franchise system. We deliver compelling Item 19's that tell a financial story and that provide candidates and brokers with drill-down KPI's and data that create a competitive edge. Your Item 19 shouldn't be a last minute project in January or February.

Our fixed monthly fee covers everything. No surprises, no reactive billing, just open communication, planning, and results. We'll customize a detailed proposal and fixed fee built around your system and level of support thats right for you! Get a quote.

Our Franchise Counsel services include trademark registrations and maintenance, vendor agreements, and transactional legal services related to franchisee compliance. We've also developed technology tools including FDD registration dashboards that provide you with instant access to the status of your FDD's and filings. Plus more!
