The franchise team is able to draw on the knowledge and experience of colleagues throughout the firm, and the team is unique among major law firm franchise practices by combining its sophisticated corporate and transactional practice with a nationally and internationally known franchise litigation expertise. The integration of our franchise transactional practice and franchise dispute resolution practice enables us to most effectively counsel clients on risk avoidance and risk management.
