FDD and Franchise Agreement Review & Analysis
Are you considering the purchase of a franchise? Have you signed a letter of intent? Paid a deposit? Before you get too far into the process, you need to consult a number of professionals: business and financial advisors, accountants, and a franchise attorney. The franchise industry is a wonderful arena for people seeking the opportunity to be their own boss and make their own fortunes. But it is also a complex business arrangement, regulated by the Federal Trade Commission and local state laws. It is important that you have the proper legal foundation, a complete understanding of the franchise and the agreement, and all the information necessary for you to enter into and be successful under the franchise arrangement.
We understand and encourage the desire to be your own boss. We temper your desire with caution, knowledge and preparation. Sigman Law Office can review the Franchise Disclosure Document (formerly the UFOC) and provide you with analysis as to the brand, concept, financial stability and viability of the franchise. As your franchise lawyer, we can also review and negotiate the terms of the franchise agreement, drafting any additional documentation as may be needed. Our franchise lawyer has proudly represented clients in Boston, MA and beyond.
