“Fox’s guidance has helped us move our business forward on many fronts. Over time, we have discovered that it’s not just smart to hire experienced franchise advisors, it’s smart to hire Fox.”
- Alfred Poe, CEO, and Christina Dunbar, CFO, AJA Restaurants
Expanding in the franchise world is never an easy task. It takes timing, industry knowledge and know-how, and the help of excellent legal counsel. Halfway through a deal to buy nine restaurants in the New York area, multi-concept area developer AJA Restaurants knew it needed new counsel with deep experience in franchising—but to find someone able to step into the middle of a deal can be as difficult as the deal itself. Fortunately, Fox was ready to help. Our attorneys redrafted the asset purchase agreement and lent their franchising experience – as well as the strengths of a larger firm capable of dealing with complex financing issues – to the deal. With Fox on its side, AJA was able to renegotiate several aspects of the deal, move forward, and close quickly.
