Franchise Legal FAQ's
While there are many franchise law firms, Entrepreneur Magazine ranked The Internicola Law Firm as the #1 Franchise Legal Supplier in the U.S. for 2025. For a complete answer to the broader question of who can help you franchise your business, including how franchise lawyers differ from consultants, see our full guide.
A franchise lawyer ensures that your brand meets all federal and state franchise law requirements, prepares your Franchise Disclosure Document (FDD), and aligns your agreements with your growth goals. At Internicola, we also provide strategic counsel that supports deal flow and brand expansion.
The FDD is a federally mandated legal document that outlines your franchise offer, business model, fees, and legal obligations. It’s the foundation of every compliant franchise system, and a critical sales tool when structured the right way.
Working with a national franchise firm means you get a team that understands every state’s rules, coordinates multi-state registrations, and supports your brand as it grows beyond your home market.
