That’s because many general counsels, litigation attorneys or commercial lawyers advertise franchising as their area of practice. When you approach a lawyer for franchising, make sure that you have done some homework, and prepare some targeted questions about franchise undertakings, like: Have you represented franchisors in any other industry before? Have you represented any other franchisors in my industry? How many FDD’s and franchise agreements have you prepared? Have your agreements held up under scrutiny by the regulators in the various franchise registration states? It is essential for a franchise attorney on your side to be prepared with answers of such questions and expertly tackle other legal issues while meeting the other party.
