Skilled Georgia advisors for both franchisors and franchisees

Both sides of a franchise agreement often begin their relationship fueled by excitement and optimism about the potential for success. That success is more likely with the assistance of a trusted counselor who guides parties through the legal requirements and risks of the franchise. At Mallernee, Branch & Daffner L.L.P., we represent both franchisors and franchisees, analyzing proposed agreements, preparing required documents, and advising on regulatory rules. We also handle disputes over matters such as termination issues, non-competition covenants and buyouts. Attorney Tom Branch draws on years of experience to counsel and guide clients in the franchise arena. Representing both franchisors and franchisees gives us a distinct advantage serving the needs and priorities of each party. We know the expense and time that can be wasted in litigation, so we first and foremost act as problem solvers, seeking business solutions to business issues.
