At Davidzon Law we get called on by clients to represent them in negotiating and completing leases for franchise locations. These leasing arrangements are considerably different than traditional retail leasing situations. Typically, the franchisor or master franchisee will negotiate the lease with the landlord and will be the tenant. These leases will always have the right to sublet the premises as the franchisor/master franchisee will be subletting the premises to the franchisee who will occupy the space as a subtenant. The franchisor and the franchisee will each have their own priorities when negotiation the head lease and sublease while the head landlord will always have their own priorities as well. At Davidzon Law we understand the importance of balancing these competing interests and finding optimal solutions to satisfy all parties and make sure the deal is put together on time and with ease. We regularly act for both franchisors and franchisees in negotiating commercial retail leases.
