I will draft your franchise compliance documents
Licensed US Attorney, Bulletproof Franchise Agreements and FTC Compliance
About this Gig
Enforcing a franchise agreement requires strict adherence to statutory notice requirements. A defective Notice of Default can constitute a waiver of your rights and trigger a wrongful termination lawsuit.
I am Michael Francis Rollins, a licensed U.S. attorney (Bar No. #102115). I draft the precise legal instruments required to enforce covenants, process unit transfers, and secure corporate assets.
When a franchisee breaches financial obligations or attempts an unauthorized assignment, generic templates are a liability. State laws dictate exact cure periods and delivery methods. Missing a statutory deadline destroys your leverage in litigation.
Instruments I Draft:
Statutory Notices of Default, Cure, and Termination
Franchise Transfer, Assignment, and Consent Agreements
Personal Guaranties and Spousal Consents
Post-Term Non-Compete Enforcement Notices
Renewal Agreements and Waivers of Breach
Enforcement requires precision. Review the packages below to select the appropriate legal instrument for your current dispute or transaction.

FAQ
What is the legal risk of a defective Notice of Default?
A defective notice—whether it misstates the breached covenant or miscalculates the statutory cure period—can constitute a waiver of your termination rights. This exposes the franchisor to claims of wrongful termination and tortious interference.
What documents are required to legally process a franchise transfer?
A standard transfer requires a formal Request for Consent, an Assignment and Assumption Agreement (transferring the contract to the new entity), and a new Personal Guaranty from the incoming ownership. I draft the complete instrument package to ensure no liabilities are orphaned.
Why is a Personal Guaranty necessary if the franchisee operates as an LLC?
An LLC shields the owner's personal assets from corporate debts. If the franchisee defaults on royalties, you are limited to suing an undercapitalized entity. A properly executed Personal Guaranty pierces that shield, holding the individual principals personally liable for the breach.
Does the governing law clause in my Franchise Agreement override state franchise laws?
Not always. Several jurisdictions (e.g., California, New Jersey) have specific Franchise Relationship Laws that mandate minimum cure periods and restrict termination rights, regardless of what your contract states. I draft notices to comply with these overriding statutes.
Does this gig include legal representation in an active dispute?
No. This service is strictly limited to the drafting and preparation of legal instruments. I do not act as an intermediary, communicate with opposing counsel, or provide active litigation representation through this platform.
