Franchise litigation
There are a lot of local businesses that started out with only one location and expanded nationally or even internationally through franchise. Still, the franchise system in not as simple as it sounds from a legal point of view, since there are a lot of wrangling inherent for both the one creating and selling the franchise, as well as for the one buying and running it. Franchises represent a complex legal form of business that comes with lots of agreements that must be followed precisely, from arranging the store/restaurant etc. to business working hours. Franchise litigation appears when any of the rules in the agreements are violated, for instance, if the franchisee uses unapproved suppliers or the franchisor does not offer support.
