Franchise Litigation
FORT LAUDERDALE FRANCHISE LITIGATION LAWYERS
We are well known as assertive, no-nonsense litigators with a resourceful and innovative approach to achieving results for our clients.
Experienced Legal Professionals Assisting Businesses
Franchise agreements require equal cooperation from both the franchisor and the franchisee. When cooperation from the other party is no longer possible, you need an experienced advocate to assist you in resolving the matter. The lawyers at Stok Kon + Braverman have been helping Fort Lauderdale businesses for over a decade. Our lawyers provide skilled representation to both franchisors and franchisees. We work closely with our clients to help them seek the maximum benefit from their franchise agreement.
Franchise Law in Florida
The relationship between franchisor and franchisee can be a complex one. Ideally, both parties benefit; the franchisor gets to expand the reach of its brand, while the franchisee welcomes the opportunity to own a business. This relationship becomes unbalanced, however, when one of the parties feels that it has been wronged. When either the franchisor or franchisee believes that the other is not holding up their part of the business deal, litigation may be the only solution.
Franchisor Claims Against Franchisees
There are a number of possible claims that a franchisor could bring against a franchisee. For instance, if a franchisee is allegedly failing to follow franchise protocols or poorly executing the operation of the franchise, the franchisor could bring a cause of action asserting that the franchisee is causing damage to the goodwill or reputation of the brand. When a former franchise owner terminates the contract and starts up their own business that is similar to that of the franchisor, the franchisor could bring a claim for breach of a non-compete agreement.
Franchisors may also bring intellectual property claims against franchisees. Should the franchisee misappropriate the symbol or trademark of the franchisor in some way (making a symbol that closely resembles that of the franchisor, for example), the franchisor could bring an action against the franchisee.
Other common claims brought by franchisors include:
- Failure of the franchisee to pay marketing or royalty fees
- Failure to comply with post-termination requirements
- General breach of contract claims
Please call us today at (954) 237-1777 or contact us online to arrange an initial consultation.
REGULATORY ACTION AGAINST A FRANCHISE
Another type of litigation that can arise out of a franchise operation involves federal and state governments. Franchises have government regulations by which they must abide. If a governmental agency believes that a franchisor is not abiding by the applicable regulations, then the agency can take legal action against the franchise. Because franchise businesses operate in a wide range of industries (food service, hospitality, and motor vehicle products and services, for example), there are industry-specific regulations by which a franchise must abide. There are also regulations such as the Federal Franchise Disclosure Act that address franchise operation specifically, regardless of the industry.
ATTORNEYS PROTECTING YOUR BUSINESS INTERESTS
Whether franchisor or franchisee, when your company is facing litigation, an experienced attorney can help you handle your business dispute strategically. Stok Kon + Braverman offers steadfast and skilled legal counsel to clients in communities throughout Broward County.

"We could not have asked for better results. We retained Stok, Folk + Kon for 3 cases. Through the discovery process, strategic sessions, and watching them in litigation, we knew we had great lawyers on our side, but honestly we didn’t realize how great. It is very comforting to watch opposing counsel fall apart while attempting to build a case, but feels even better to watch our team of lawyers completely decimate the competition. We could not have asked for better results. If you want to WIN hire Stok, Folk + Kon."

He is not only one of the top divorce lawyers anywhere today but an amazing human being. Alan was there for me in my hour of need and stood by me, advised me, and put me on the right road. I originally had started with another attorney because I did not know Alan. However, after I realized I was not with the right person someone found Alan for me and he literally saved my life. He stood by my side a second time and helped me again. He is an extremely intelligent, gentle, and kind attorney like I have never met before. I sent a couple of clients to him and the same reaction from both was " where did you find this man, thank you ". I will forever be in his debt and would not think twice about recommending him to anyone."
