Doctor’s Associates LLC’s franchise agreements require disputes between Doctor’s Associates, LLC. and the operators of its Subway franchises to be resolved by arbitration in Connecticut. Arbitration is serious business and the stakes are substantial.

Subway Franchisees Urged to Review Leases and Franchise Agreements.

The terms of the DAL (fka DAI) arbitration provisions are such that virtually all disputes between Franchisees and DAL are resolved without published decisions. 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 Subway franchises will not have access to the arbitration decisions: That is the bad news.

Those of us who do handle Subway franchise arbitration with Doctor’s Associates know what has happened on the cases we have worked on. That information may help us in representing other franchisees. However, we are prohibited from sharing with other franchisees information about resolutions that are subject to non-disclosure agreements.

We can tell you that franchisees that have retained us to represent them in arbitrations commenced by DAL have chosen to use us in subsequent arbitrations and recommended us to other franchisees that have asked them for a recommendation.
