In an ideal world, franchisors and franchisees work hand in hand to maximize brand awareness for their mutual benefit.  In reality, the close contractual relationship between franchisors and franchisees can give rise to serious disputes.  At Anovven Law, we work with our clients to find thoughtful strategies to help them avoid conflicts before they become serious.  However, when a conflict does arise, we work hard to protect our client's interests.

​
