For Franchisors · All 50 States

We Prepare FDDs and Franchise Agreements For Clients In All 50 States, and We Handle State Registrations.

FDD’s are subject to complex state and federal regulations, and mistakes in your documents can have catastrophic consequences for your business. In Ohio, mistakes in the FDD can give a buyer the right to terminate the agreement and get his money back, even if the franchisee has already operated the business for a few years. Only an experienced franchise lawyer should prepare these documents.
In 35 years of practicing franchise law, Stanley Dub has prepared disclosure documents and agreements for a number of franchise sellers, including several first-time franchisors. None of these clients has ever faced a claim that their documents violated franchise disclosure rules.

We Offer Compliance Reviews of Your FDD’s.

If you’ve faced a claim that your FDD fails to comply with disclosure rules, you know how distracting and expensive this problem can be. If you merely suspect your documents may have problems, why not have them looked at before someone makes a claim?

While you’re at it, why not get your Franchise Agreement reviewed? You may be losing franchise buyers because of contract language that needlessly drives them away. Franchise agreements always favor the franchisor in important respects, but sometimes they end up being packed with language a franchisor doesn’t need or want, and may not even know his agreement contains. Having your agreement reviewed by an outside expert can tell you this.

Dispute Resolution

We resolve disputes with franchisees — in all 50 states.

Some franchise lawyers represent only franchisees or only franchisors — we do both. Can you imagine a business lawyer who would only represent buyers but not sellers? Lawyers are trained as advocates; Mr. Dub has consulted as a franchise law expert, resolved disputes without litigation, and initiated franchise litigation on behalf of both franchisors and franchisees.
Most franchise disputes are settled, even where suit is filed or arbitration commenced. How those disputes get resolved depends heavily on your lawyer’s franchise law experience and ability. Before you use a different lawyer, compare their franchise law credentials with those of Mr. Dub.
