Franchise Documentation

O'Reilly Rancilio's business attorneys represent both franchisers and franchisees in many different industries, including, but not limited to petroleum distributors, fast food sandwich franchises, pizzerias, and automobile dealerships.

Along with the general state franchise laws, many of the industries, such as the motor vehicle and motor fuel industry, have their own specific laws — all very familiar to our lawyers. Our Michigan law firm counsels, reviews, and prepares franchise documents for the motor vehicle industry, motor fuel industry, and other franchised retail industries.
