Nationwide Franchisor Counsel

Locations We Serve

Franchise law is federal at its core, so where your attorney sits matters far less than whether they actually practice franchise law. FBLG Law is based in Salt Lake City and represents emerging and established franchisors across the United States, from first-time founders launching a 4-month FDD build to established multi-state franchise systems managing registrations across all 50 states. Below are states where we do focused work and maintain state-specific guidance. If you don't see yours listed, reach out and our team will guide your expansion.

Why a National Firm Beats a Local Generalist for Franchise Work

A general business attorney down the street may be excellent at local contracts, but franchise law is a dedicated specialty with its own federal FTC rule, 14 state registration regimes, and strict state relationship statutes. FBLG Law works on franchise systems full-time. That is why emerging and established franchisors choose our team over a local generalist, whether they are headquartered in Salt Lake City, California, or across the country.
