FRANCHISING AND LICENSING

Franchising as a method of distribution of goods and services has experienced a phenomenal growth nationally and internationally over the last ten years. Franchising remains a highly regulated industry both at the state and federal levels. New York has earned a reputation as one of the toughest states to sell franchises from or within.

We at CORBALLY, GARTLAND and RAPPLEYEA, LLP regularly represent both nationally known and start-up franchisors as well as franchisees. We are experienced in establishing franchising systems, governmental regulations and disclosure issues. We have extensive experience in franchise litigation and the use of alternate dispute resolution techniques to resolve franchisor-franchisee disputes.

With the explosion of technological advances in computers, software, telecommunications and related sciences, the licensing of patents, know-how and products has grown proportionately. We at CORBALLY, GARTLAND and RAPPLEYEA, LLP stand ready to assist you with all your technology and other licensing needs.
