Provided by Greenberg Traurig, LLP

Greenberg Traurig (GT) provides integrated cross-border legal services worldwide. Our experience in the United States, Latin America, the Middle East, Europe, Asia, and Africa enables us to provide clients with resources in market opportunities, investments, financing, access to capital markets, governmental strategies or dispute resolution.

GT’s wide-ranging franchise and distribution practice helps clients expand worldwide. The Franchise Team has represented clients in establishing franchise and distribution operations in over 60 countries. Transnational franchise and distribution relationships differ in important respects from domestic arrangements. GT thoroughly understands legal and business aspects of international franchising and distribution. GT counsels companies on the impact of laws in certain countries and has vast experience in structuring, negotiating, and documenting all arrangements used in international franchising, including master franchise and area development relationships, joint ventures, non-traditional venue franchises, area representative relationships, any combination of these arrangements, and more. Our team elevates client’s business objectives at the forefront, as our goal is to establish long-term relationships defined by reliability, responsiveness and trust. Our clients’ international transactions are far from standard, and the GT Franchise Team has a unique ability to propose creative alternatives to address issues which arise in negotiations.
