Ata Patent Group attorneys also have particular experience in the
area of franchising, and we have counseled and represented many
companies in employing this method of expansion, both domestically
and internationally. Franchising is a method of distribution that
combines the advantages of a branded, centralized, specialized
system with the capital and micro-management of local independent
business persons to produce a market competitor with critical mass.
It can leverage a business's success far beyond its own capital and
management resources.
Franchising's inherent geographic expansiveness and long-term
business relationships cause it to be affected by an array of
dynamic Turkish laws. While these various laws and regulations can
be ambiguous and confusing and can create risks such as inadvertent
franchising, Ata Patent Group attorneys have the knowledge and
expertise to guide our clients to minimize these risks.
The firm regularly represents both franchisors and franchisees.
These activities include counseling franchisors regarding disclosure
requirements, creating disclosure documents, obtaining registrations
in states which require them and assisting in the negotiations with
prospective franchisees. The firm also represents its clients in
franchise litigation and disputes.
