Practice Emphasis:

Teri’s litigation practice focuses on complex commercial disputes, franchising, intellectual property, professional negligence claims, and construction litigation. Her franchise practice includes representing clients in both litigation and transactional matters. Teri has represented franchisors and franchisees in litigation with respect to a host of franchise relationship, intellectual property, and compliance issues. She has achieved a variety of positive results for her clients including the recovery of damages, termination of franchise relationships (and on the flip-side, preservation of franchise relationships), enforcement of non-competition and other post-termination covenants, and the winding down of hold-over franchisees. Teri concentrates her transactional franchise practice on franchise development matters, the establishment of new franchise systems, and franchise law compliance.
