About

Provided by Faegre Drinker Biddle & Reath, LLP

With a passion for franchising, nearly 200 years of collective experience and a collaborative approach, we partner with market-leading franchisors as you launch, grow, protect and evolve successful systems. Our objective is to help you identify opportunities and overcome challenges at every stage. From the outset, we support franchisors by drafting disclosure documents and managing related state filings, as well as providing strategic advice for emerging franchisors. When you are widening your reach, we advise on transactions, strategic growth opportunities and international expansion. And as you operate, we protect you with counsel on disputes/litigation with franchisees, data privacy protection, technology and cybersecurity issues, the supply chain, advertising, system encroachment concerns, and brand protection.
