Atlanta Franchise Disclosure Document "FDD" Preparation Attorney
The preparation of a Franchise Disclosure Document, formerly known as a Uniform Offering Circular, is a crucial element for every franchise system. Every franchise is unique and a Franchise Disclosure Document should reflect a franchise's distinct features.
Beware Boiler-Plate, Fill-in-the-Blanks Documentation for Your Franchise
Yet, many franchise attorneys use "cookie-cutter" boilerplate documents and simply fill in the blanks while billing their clients at exorbitant rates. It is not uncommon to see franchise fees and dispute resolution provisions that are not suited for a specific franchisor but were simply recycled without any thought or consideration for their practical ramifications.
Contact a lawyer at the law offices of Kaufman, Miller & Sivertsen to schedule a consultation regarding the Franchise Disclosure Document.
