How Our Franchise Law Attorney Can Help You
Buying a Franchise / Agreement Review
- If you are thinking about buying a franchise, there will be many issues, documents, and agreements that must first be considered before making such a huge decision. Our franchise law attorneys can assist you through the primary steps necessary for starting a franchise operation and help you navigate the process.
- Real Estate Control & Lease Review
- When it comes to the location of your franchise, our experienced franchise law attorney in Los Angeles can guide you through the selection of a profitable location and help you review any lease agreements. It is our goal to minimize your liability so you can focus on starting up your franchise.
- Breach of Contract
- At the core of every business, company, or franchise will be some type of contract. In fact, nearly every type of business or commercial transaction is based on the terms established in a contract. When a contract has been violated—either due to simple misunderstanding or intentional harm—you need to seek legal assistance before the situation escalates.
- Fraud & Misrepresentation
- It is not uncommon to see fraud and misrepresentation in the business world, including among franchisees and franchisors. If you believe that you have been the victim of some sort of misrepresentation in a contract or in an agreement, consult our firm.
- Termination / Non-Renewal
- One of the most effective ways to terminate a franchise is to sell the business. If you need to sell a franchise or terminate or cancel a franchise agreement at the end of the term through non-renewal, our firm can assist you. The process is complex, so it is best to consult a professional.
- Franchise Associations
- When you need assistance in organizing a franchisee association, our firm can provide effective services for your franchise. Franchisee associations can provide strength and establish cooperative platforms, so planning for the future and communication within your company will be essential to maintaining smooth and conflict-free business operations.
- Selling a Franchise
- When you want to sell your franchise location, it can be overwhelming to sort through all of the legalities and key details. How do you know if you are minimizing liability if something goes wrong? Let our firm be your legal guide from start to finish, and you can brush all worries about selling your franchise aside.

I have worked with David for over 10 years and in all that time I have been impressed with his knowledge and professionalism,not to mention his personable style. His expertise in franchises and real estate are top notch and have been a constant resource for me. Excellent person to know.KB
-
Mr. Levaton did a great job helping us review a new FDD. He brought up a lot of good points and helped us structure a list of questions/concerns for the franchisor. After the review we felt a lot more comfortable with the content. We would highly recommend Mr. Levaton to anyone who needs franchise legal support.BB
-
I have been in franchising for years, and had several attorneys, but David is an invaluable resource, not just as an attorney providing guidance and in the resolution of disputes we have had with our franchisor, but in his business and operational experience. If you own a franchise David should be your lawyer.KS
-
David is not only the General Counsel for our Association, but he is part of our strategic team. His insights during negotiations with our franchisor, and in planning meetings, have led us to a more solid ability to represent the interests of our members. He is an exceptional negotiator and problem solver, that has benefited not only the Association but quite frankly our franchisor as well.KB
-
I was introduced to David several months ago, and from our very first meeting, I was and have been super impressed with him. I enlisted David’s help to vet out a franchise opportunity and review the contract/FDD for consideration. David’s representation and knowledge of the franchise industry is immeasurable! My husband and I feel very lucky to have found someone with such depth of knowledge and who specializes in representation of the franchisee (insert happy dance). David is extremely professional, makes himself available on short notice and has such an eloquent articulation of the legal language. As we move through the franchise ownership funnel, I look forward to partnering with David. He’s definitely a solid advisor that we want on our business team going forward.KN
