The most dynamic method of growing a business in today’s economy is known as franchising. Franchising involves the systematic reproduction of an existing business model, offering a uniquely standardized approach to delivering a product or service.

Ruskin Moscou Faltischek’s Franchise, Distribution and Licensing practice group is a national and international leader in the franchise industry. Chaired by Harold L. Kestenbaum, a franchise attorney with over 30 years’ experience, the members of the practice group are available to assist both start-up and established franchisors in all phases of their business. The group handles all regulatory documentation required by the federal government and various state agencies as well as franchise disputes and intellectual property issues. It has deep knowledge of corporate transactions involving the franchisor’s business, including mergers and acquisitions, international franchise matters, real estate issues that affect franchisors and other franchise-related matters.

Our Franchise, Distribution and Licensing attorneys are on the cutting edge of franchise law developments, including the newest changes to the FTC Rule on Franchising, whose regulations are expected have a significant impact on franchising for years to come.

The Franchise, Distribution and Licensing practice at Ruskin Moscou Faltischek is global in nature. The practice group is experienced in handling matters in such diverse countries as Ireland, Saudi Arabia, Dubai, Australia, Canada and Australia.
