• Business Disputes
  Few areas of business law and trade regulation are as involved and complicated as franchise law. Franchise law has its own detailed regulatory scheme and format, encompassing both Federal and state law. Because, at its heart, franchising is a system of distribution of products and services, franchise law encompasses anti-trust, business law and trademark law. With its unique regulations, in-depth rules and multi-state regulatory oversight, the area of franchise law requires a skilled counselor with the knowledge and experience to navigate this complex field. Franchise law is not an area in which lawyers dabble; it is either practiced or not. At Baggott Law, we practice franchise law and dedicate our practice almost exclusively to franchise matters.
