Provided by Foley & Lardner LLP

Foley’s Distribution & Franchise Practice offers “one-stop shopping” for the legal services required by manufacturers and franchisors, as well as distributors, dealers, and franchisees. Manufacturers rely on Foley’s experience to ensure the independent dealers and distributors authorized to sell and service the manufacturers’ trademarked products at retail meet the high standards associated with their brands. Franchisors similarly rely on Foley to ensure that independent franchisees licensed to use their trademarks operate in accordance with the uniformity and quality that the consuming public associates with the franchise system. We also help clients that are distributors, dealers, and franchisees resolve disputes with their suppliers.

Our Distribution & Franchise lawyers, individually and as a group, repeatedly have been recognized as preeminent in the field by Chambers USA, Franchise Times, the ABA Forum on Franchising, the International Franchise Association, and the ABA Section of Antitrust Law, among others.
