Frequently Asked Questions

Do I really need a franchise attorney to buy a franchise?

Yes. Franchise agreements and FDDs are legally binding contracts written by franchisors. Our job is to level the playing field, reduce your risk, and make sure you fully understand your obligations before you sign.

Can franchise agreements be negotiated?

Absolutely. While some franchisors claim that their agreements are non-negotiable, there’s often room for adjustments, particularly when it comes to financial, territory, and operational terms. We'll advise you on what can and should be negotiated.

What is the FDD, and why does it matter?

A franchise disclosure document (FDD) is a legal disclosure required by the FTC. It contains 23 sections covering costs, litigation history, revenue representations, obligations, and more. We can help you interpret the legal language and flag potential red flags before you commit.

How much does it cost to hire a franchise attorney in Denver?

We offer clear, transparent fees for all major services, including FDD reviews, agreement drafting, and entity setup. You’ll receive an upfront quote with no surprises so you can plan your franchise investment confidently.

Can B&T Legal Group help me create a franchise system?

Yes! If you're a business owner ready to scale through franchising, we can guide you as you build the legal and operational infrastructure needed to do so effectively. This may include FDD creation, franchise agreement drafting, compliance policies, and training materials.
