Owning a franchise is a significant investment of your resources and should be done with the support of experienced franchise attorneys. When you select our firm, we will scrutinize any restrictive economic terms, non-compete clauses, territory protections and potential consequences of your termination. We will provide you with the legal counsel and direction you need prior to purchase, while fully explaining your rights and responsibilities.
Protecting the Best Interests of Illinois Franchisees
Whether you are an existing franchisee or considering the purchase of a franchise, you always want to be aware of your legal rights and take action to protect yourself as a franchisee. In your franchise agreement, you will want to be aware of certain restrictive terms in your contract and other clauses that will affect your rights and operation of your business.
