Getting Out of a Franchise

Legal Advice for Selling a Franchise

Even with the best intentions and effort, businesses do not always work out as planned. Disputes and financial difficulties may require you to terminate a contract sooner than expected. If you need to get out of a current franchise contract, I can provide the legal counsel you need to protect your rights and to help avoid prolonged legal disputes.

Do you want to sell a franchise or "get out" of a franchise contract? I am attorney Mario L. Herman, and I have been representing prospective and current franchisees for more than 25 years. I can help you terminate a franchise relationship. Please contact me to schedule a consultation.

  • Getting out of a non-compete agreement
  • Negotiating a buy-sell agreement

  • Informing clients of their rights and obligations when terminating a franchise contract
