As a potential franchisee, what will a New York franchise lawyer do for me?

A: Before you agree to invest in a franchise in New York, a New York franchise lawyer can help you to investigate the business venture to be sure it is a sound choice. An attorney can do this by helping you to review the franchisor's mandatory business disclosures. These disclosures will include the franchisor's financial statements, their litigation history, as well as the performance history of the company's other business franchisees.

By reviewing these mandatory disclosures, you will gain an understanding of the business in which you may ultimately invest. When going over these disclosures, a New York franchise lawyer can help you to distinguish the pros and cons. If after reviewing these disclosures, you do choose to invest in a franchise in New York, the next step will be to receive a copy of the formal franchise agreement.

The franchise agreement will contain information about your obligations as a franchisee. Once again, a New York franchise lawyer can explain the contents of this document. A lawyer can also explain the implications of signing a formal franchise agreement, such as the terms and obligations to which it will legally bind you.

Once you have invested in a franchise in New York, a New York franchise lawyer can represent your legal interests. This includes advising you on your rights in the case of a rigid franchise dispute. A franchise dispute may arise from accusations of fraud, a breach of the franchise agreement or your failure to fulfill obligations, such as payment of royalty fees.
