Phoenix Franchise Lawyers
Top-Rated Franchise Attorney Serving All Of Phoenix
Franchise law is one of the more complex areas of law, making it challenging for both the franchisor and franchisee alike to follow procedures properly. When you are franchising your business, you are legally required to inform prospective franchisees about the business and about yourself by utilizing a Franchise Disclosure Document (FDD). It is important to have an experienced franchise lawyer guide you through the process, to draft and review franchise documents, and assist with any other legal documents you may need.
Franchise Registration With 5-star Rated Attorneys
Not only do our lawyers at Denton Peterson Dunn draft and complete the FDD, but we also provide professional assistance through the state registration process. States requiring registration include California, Hawaii, Illinois, Indiana, Maryland, Michigan, Minnesota, New York, North Dakota, Rhode Island, South Dakota, Virginia, Washington, and Wisconsin.
While the actual registration process varies from state to state, most governments require that the FDD is filed and fully approved before a franchisor can begin to actually sell a franchise in that particular state. Our lawyers have helped countless clients register their franchise in various states successfully and smoothly.
Franchisors are required to renew their state registration each year. To make that process simpler, we can alert our franchise clients when their renewal is due each year, and help guide them through that process with ease.

Preparing The Franchise Disclosure Document With Our Phoenix Franchise Attorneys
When it comes to drafting and reviewing franchise documents, the attorneys at Denton Peterson Dunn are experienced and capable to prepare the documents and educate clients throughout the process. The Franchise Disclosure Document is a lengthy document consisting of 23 different sections, requiring information about litigation history involving the franchisor and its officer, disclosure of parental and affiliate companies, initial fees and ongoing costs of the franchise, training and advertising details, current and former franchisee disclosures, any financing that may be offered by the franchisor, and detailed financial information including audited financial statements. Additionally, the FDD contains several pages of examples showing sample franchise agreements, a table of contents for the operations manual, financial statements, and more. Along with guiding clients through the document, our franchise lawyers offer professional legal advice regarding the benefits and risks of making financial representations in the FDD. We work hard to ensure the form is completed thoroughly and accurately.
