About Bret Lowell
I practice franchise and distribution law and have counseled and represented clients across a broad spectrum of industries, including restaurants and food service, car rental, hotel and motel, automotive repair, health care, financial services, fitness, high tech, real estate and retail. My experience includes extensive analysis as to whether arrangements constitute \"franchises\"; drafting and negotiating domestic and international franchise, distribution, and license agreements; preparation and filing of disclosure documents; counsel and advice regarding the establishment and operation of franchise and distribution systems; advice regarding termination, transfer, and renewal obligations; dispute resolution, including representation before federal and state government agencies; mediation; due diligence reviews and document preparation in connection with public offerings, mergers, and acquisitions; and trademark and other intellectual property matters.I am also heavily focused on the buying and selling of franchisors and have worked on both sell-side and buy-side transactions across a broad spectrum of industries.
