The value of working with a Franchise Attorney?

A Franchise Agreement is a legal contract that you are entering into and franchise law is specialized. I had one franchisor share with me that an attorney claimed they understood franchise law and then tried to rewrite the state requirements for that industry (Senior Care), which cost the prospective franchisee an arm and a leg.

Be wise, get an experienced franchise attorney, such as Tom Branch to review and explain the documents and the obligations as a franchisee and to let you know if there are any concerns or clauses that need to be balanced.
