Franchise Attorney in St. Louis, Missouri & Illinois
When it comes to franchise law, there are two broad areas in which the expertise of a franchise liability attorney is needed.
Purchasing a franchise. Buying a franchise is a significant investment. When you are considering the purchase of a franchise, it is important to have a franchise agreement attorney thoroughly review the proposed agreement before any deal is struck. At Van Voorhees Law, we have reviewed agreements for a wide variety of franchisees, including gym operators and restaurants. Our review includes analysis of the legal risks and rewards of the agreement, potential liability issues, non-compete agreements, lease responsibilities and termination and renewal clauses.
Suing a franchisor. Van Voorhees understands that when a dispute arises between a franchisor and franchisee, a fair resolution must be reached as quickly as possible. Whether the dispute is involves a franchisor’s misrepresentation or a liability created because of a mandate dictated by a franchisor, Van Voorhees Law will aggressively represent your interests through litigation, negotiation or an alternative dispute resolution process.

Owning one’s own business can be a rewarding experience, with the entrepreneur working hard to achieve financial security in the future. Unfortunately, even a minor a legal issue can pose a major setback to your business and your livelihood. At Van Voorhees Law, we have advised small business owners about the risks and rewards of contracts, determined the most appropriate types of insurance needed to protect their businesses and litigated disputes on their behalf.
Business contract disputes. Contracts are the foundation on which most businesses are built. When a party fails to live up to the agreement or a dispute arises over its interpretation, cash flow may be disrupted, formerly good business relationships soured and related contracts affected. Kathryn Van Voorhees has successfully represented Missouri and Illinois companies in business contract lawsuits and has also helped resolve disputes before they get to the litigation stage.
Collection litigation. Past due accounts jeopardize the financial health of any company. At Van Voorhees Law, we have helped small business owners in Missouri and Illinois collect past due accounts through the use of demand letters, negotiation and collection lawsuits.
Non-compete employment agreements. Employees are a vital part of the success of a small business, so when a key employee establishes a competing business and tries to steal clients, the results can be devastating. At Van Voorhees Law, we understand the parameters of Missouri and Illinois law as it applies to non-compete agreements and can draft an agreement that will protect your business but not be considered overly restrictive by the courts.
