When negotiating a franchise agreement, a skilled franchise attorney can help negotiate good terms for the franchisee—the person or business buying the franchise rights. Since a franchise agreement is a business contract, the franchise attorney will be skilled in negotiating and interpreting contracts generally, but also specifically experienced in franchise contracts. In addition, a franchise attorney can review the franchise law of the state in which the franchise will be operated to ensure compliance by the franchisor—the person offering the franchise for sale. Finally, a good franchise attorney can assist the franchisee in setting up the business operation itself, hiring employees, gaining any necessary financing and establishing the underlying business entity that will buy the actual franchise.
