Franchise and Business Opportunities

Franchise & Product Distribution
Operating a franchise system presents complex business and legal issues -- sometimes on a daily basis. Some issues are positive and even exciting -- international expansion, for example. Other issues are just as important but less welcome, such as facing demands of existing or prospective franchisees, or matters relating to the consumers of the franchised products or services.

Whatever the issue or situation, competent and experienced legal support is crucial. Gray Plant Mooty's Franchise and Product Distribution Team -- one of the most respected franchise practices in the country -- provides that support to local, national and international clients. We represent more than 80 franchisors, ranging from start-up and emerging franchisors to franchisors with thousands of locations worldwide.

We understand that the failure to hear back from your lawyer is frustrating. We simply won't allow that to happen. We will return all phone calls and emails in at least a half business day.

Knowing Your Needs, Providing the Service
Our Franchise and Product Distribution Team is dedicated to the success of our franchisor clients. Our lawyers recognize that the initial construction of a franchise concept will directly impact the franchisor's future profits. They also understand the dynamics and intricacies of franchisor-franchisee relationships, and the importance of these relationships in maintaining the overall integrity of the franchise system.

Gray Plant Mooty's Franchise and Product Distribution Team works with franchisor clients located throughout the U.S., Canada, and other countries, offering assistance in a broad range of areas. Why reinvent the wheel? If you are facing an issue in your system, we likely have addressed that issue with one or more of our franchisor clients.

International expansion— Overseas' expansion offers franchisors tremendous opportunities, but can present obstacles not previously experienced in domestic programs. Gray Plant Mooty's extensive experience helps franchisors achieve their international expansion goals.

Gray Plant Mooty's vast experience in the nuances of franchising and product distribution has positioned our team as a leader in the field. More importantly, we work with our clients to address both the business and legal issues necessary to position your company for success.

Other law firms may understand franchising as well as we do. But few will demonstrate the same commitment to you. We believe each relationship is unique. We therefore take the time to get to know you and your business. This commitment leads to unsurpassed client service and satisfaction.
