Franchise, Marketing and Distribution

For almost 25 years, the attorneys of Biggs Law Group have been assisting their clients in taking advantage of the opportunities presented to members of the franchise community, whether as franchisor or franchisee. The firm’s balanced approach and experienced perspective, balances the need for a franchisor to police and protect its intellectual property with the flexibility to effectively respond to an ever-changing retail economy. Historically, turn-around and start-up franchise systems have found our counsel to be particularly beneficial.
