Franchise, Licensing & Distribution

An effective strategy for business success is to affiliate yourself with a proven business concept through franchise, distribution, or licensing. Yet every business model presents certain risks.

At Shanahan Law Group, our licensing, distribution, and franchise attorneys help clients reduce risk and maximize opportunities by carefully reviewing, negotiating, or drafting agreements that protect their interests and position them for success. We also help franchisors and licensors protect their intellectual property and other assets.

We advise clients on all facets of franchising, licensing, and distribution including franchise and license agreements, offering circulars, and other legal and business documents. To speak to an experienced attorney who is knowledgeable about franchise, licensing, and distribution, please contact Shanahan Law Group in Raleigh, North Carolina.

A franchise, licensing, or distribution agreement may define the terms of your business relationship and your financial future for years to come. These agreements represent ways for you to expand your business. Yet, the terms of these agreements can be confusing and their meanings obscure. We will make certain you understand your role and responsibilities as well as your expected return. Before you sign any agreement, please consult an experienced licensing and distribution attorney at Shanahan Law Group.
