Franchises are not only a domestic phenomenon, but an international business concept that attracts investors from countries around the world as products attain a global reach and financial interest.

From stay-at-home, telecommuting entrepreneurs to savvy businesspeople, franchises often have low barriers of entry and high returns when they are appropriately planned and guided.

Franchise law entails all the facets needed to begin, acquire, maintain, merge, and sell a franchise business. Our franchise attorneys take a comprehensive approach to your legal needs and leverage key aspects of the franchise agreement to maximize the opportunities for income.

Spotora & Associates has extensive experience in franchising across various industries. If there is a franchise out there that fits your lifestyle and idea, we can represent your business’ legal needs.

It is essential to get legal guidance on a franchise as these businesses are filled with many complexities. Franchises are also prone to copycats that want to feed off the success of others. A qualified franchise attorney is the best asset to defending your business’ livelihood at any stage.
