Representing Franchisees in Arbitrations
Under Franchise Agreements, including franchisees of
Subwaysm Restaurants and Sharkey's Cuts for
Kids.sm
The franchising agreements of Doctor's Associates LLC's
(the franchisor of Subwaysm Restaurants) and
Sharkey's Franchising Company (the franchisor of
Sharkey's Cut's for Kidssm) require all
disputes related to their franchise agreements to be
resolved by arbitration in Connecticut. These
franchise agreements also mandate that disputes about
enforceability of arbitrations awards must be brought in
state or federal court in Connecticut.
Our Connecticut Lawyers have extensive experience
representing franchisees in arbitrations and litigation
related to these franchise agreements.
Franchisees Urged to Review Leases and
Franchise Agreements.
The terms of the franchise agreements used by Doctor's
Associates, LLC (f/k/a DAI) and Sharkey's
Franchising Company almost always include "mandatory
arbitration" provisions. As a result
virtually all disputes between franchisees and these
franchisors are initially heard in Arbitration.
Arbitration is often quicker and less expensive than
trials to a court: That is the good news. However,
these arbitrations are resolved without published
decisions and almost always with non-disclosure
requirements. As a result, franchisees and lawyers
who have not handled arbitrations related to these
franchises cannot have access to the arbitration
decisions: That is the bad news.
As Connecticut franchise dispute attorneys who regularly
represent franchisees in arbitration with these
franchisors, our lawyers know what has happened on the
arbitrations that we have handled. While we cannot
make that information public or share it with other
clients, that experience does help us provide effective
representation to our clients.
Perhaps that is why franchisees that have retained
us to represent them in arbitrations against Doctor's
Associates or Sharkey's Franchising Company retained us
for any subsequent problems with their franchisor and
recommend us to other franchisees.
For franchise owners who wish to be proactive before a
dispute arises, we offering franchise risk assessment
audits.
