Analyzing the empirical business and economic data relating to the Franchisor’s business model and addressing the unique aspects of the Franchisor’s business in the Franchise Agreement.

Structuring a “fair” Franchise Agreement that addresses the needs of the Franchisor but does not hamper the Franchisee’s ability to build value.
