"Working with Frank is like going on a road trip with your best friend. You have more fun during the road trip than at your final destination. Frank told me a deadline and stayed with it, always being responsive to messages, with thick detail to reinforce his reasoning. When talking over the phone, Frank goes into great detail and paints the real picture of what to expect, in his experience, dealing with the court and judges. I would work with Frank again for future work."

Franchising Legal Questions and Answers

Intellectual Property License Agreement

North Carolina

Asked on Jun 11, 2025

Can an Intellectual Property License Agreement be terminated if the licensee fails to meet certain performance obligations?

I am a small business owner who recently entered into an Intellectual Property License Agreement with a larger company to use their patented technology in my products. The agreement includes performance obligations that the licensee (me) must meet, such as achieving minimum sales targets. However, due to unforeseen market challenges, I am struggling to meet these obligations. I need to know if the licensor has the right to terminate the agreement if I fail to meet these performance requirements, and what recourse I may have in such a situation.

Christopher N.

Answered Jun 13, 2025

The short answer is, as will most legal questions: it depends, but likely yes. Assuming your agreement is with a sophisicated patent holder, the terms of resolving that relationship are more than likely detailed in the agreement which you both signed. We highly recommend consulting with an experienced business attorney in North Carolina that can help you negotiate a resolution, or help you cancel the agreement with as little pain as possible. Good luck.

Franchise Agreement

New York

Asked on Nov 8, 2024

What information should be included in a Franchise Disclosure Document (FDD)?

I am considering purchasing a franchise and have been provided with a Franchise Disclosure Document (FDD) by the franchisor. However, I am unsure about what specific information should be included in the FDD and what I should be looking for. I want to make an informed decision and ensure that all necessary information is provided to me as a potential franchisee, so I would like to know what details are typically included in an FDD to protect my interests.

Danny J.

Answered Dec 22, 2024

The Franchise Disclosure Document (FDD) is a critical tool for evaluating a franchise opportunity. It contains a wealth of information that's essential for making an informed decision about purchasing a franchise. While the FDD is designed to provide transparency, interpreting its contents can be challenging. Each of these items contains nuances that could significantly impact your investment and future business operations. For instance: a) The litigation history can reveal potential red flags about the franchisor's business practices. b) The financial performance representations may or may not be included, and understanding what this means for your decision is crucial. c) The renewal, termination, and transfer provisions can have long-term implications for your business flexibility. Here are the top 5 key components of a Franchise Disclosure Document (FDD): 1) Franchisor's business experience 2) Initial fees and estimated investment 3) Ongoing fees (royalties, marketing) 4) Territory rights 5) Financial performance representations And there are up to 22 important terms to review and analyze in a comprehensive FDD. It's crucial to carefully examine all sections to fully understand the franchise opportunity. Given the complexity and importance of this document, it would be prudent to have a thorough professional review. As an experienced business attorney, I could: 1) Analyze each section of the FDD in detail 2) Identify any unusual terms or potential risks 3) Compare this FDD to industry standards 4) Advise you on questions to ask the franchisor 5) Help you understand the long-term implications of the franchise agreement Would you like to discuss your specific FDD in more detail and ensure you're making a fully informed decision about this franchise opportunity?

Contracts Counsel was incredibly helpful and easy to use. I submitted a project for a lawyer's help within a day I had received over 6 proposals from qualified lawyers. I submitted a bid that works best for my business and we went forward with the project.

I never knew how difficult it was to obtain representation or a lawyer, and ContractsCounsel was EXACTLY the type of service I was hoping for when I was in a pinch. Working with their service was efficient, effective and made me feel in control. Thank you so much and should I ever need attorney services down the road, I'll certainly be a repeat customer.
