Class Actions in a Franchise Dispute

If you own a franchise in New York, and you are involved in a franchise dispute with the business franchisor, you should find out if other franchisees are having similar issues. If they are having similar issues, one option you may have is to file a class action lawsuit. When there is a franchise dispute, an action on behalf of multiple franchisees can put more pressure on the franchisor.

Furthermore, in a class action lawsuit involving a franchise dispute, the franchisees may share the legal costs of litigation, which may ease your own financial burden. Some reasons to file a lawsuit against a franchisor include: 

• misrepresentations or omissions in the franchise disclosure document;
• unfair changes to the franchise system, such as an increase in royalty payments; or
• the unlawful termination of a franchise. 

If you own a franchise in New York, and you are involved in a franchise dispute, there may be legal remedies. These remedies include legislative solutions and civil actions against a franchisor. To pursue legal remedies in a franchise dispute, you can get the professional help of a New York franchise lawyer.
