Q: How can I find a lawyer who specializes in franchising?
A: You can start by checking with your state bar association. Many state bar associations allow member lawyers to identify the areas of practice in which they specialize, and franchise or distribution law is a recognized specialty in an increasing number of states.
Q: What is a Uniform Franchise Offering Circular (UFOC)?
A: This is the document supplied by the franchisor to prospective franchisees that describes in detail the franchise offering. It should be the focal point of the initial review of the franchise. In the law, it supercedes and overrules anything that is printed or said by other franchise literature and the sales persons representing the franchisor.
It is a good idea to get legal assistance in understanding and interpreting the UFOC.
