Fink Bressack represents both franchisors and franchisees in complex franchise disputes across the United States.
With a deep understanding of the unique legal and business issues that arise in franchising relationships, our attorneys deliver strategic and results-driven representation tailored to the needs of each client—whether they are an established franchisor, or an individual or multi-unit franchisee.
We have successfully litigated a broad range of franchise disputes in state and federal courts. Our experience includes matters involving wrongful termination of franchise agreements, fraudulent inducement, misrepresentations in the sale of a franchise, rescission, enforcement and defense of non-compete provisions, and breach of contract. We also handle claims involving performance standards, royalty and marketing fee disputes, and issues related to franchise disclosure documents (FDDs) and regulatory compliance.
Franchise litigation is specialized and often governed by a mix of federal regulations, state franchise laws, and contractual provisions. Our attorneys are skilled at navigating this complex legal framework to protect our clients’ interests. We recognize that franchise disputes are not just legal battles—they often involve reputational risk, ongoing business operations, and long-term strategic considerations. That’s why we work closely with clients to align our litigation strategy with their broader goals, whether that means aggressively pursuing damages, negotiating a favorable settlement, or preserving key business relationships.
With a reputation for excellence in commercial litigation, Fink Bressack brings deep trial experience, sophisticated legal analysis, and an unwavering focus on client advocacy to every franchise case. Our clients trust us to provide clear guidance and effective representation at every stage of the litigation process—from pre-dispute counseling through trial and appeal.
