Helping clients create a global footprint

As a U.S. law firm with a global reach, Cheng Cohen represents franchise brands in commercial transactions around the world—whether a U.S. company is expanding its brand internationally or a non-U.S. company is introducing its brand to the U.S.

Our lawyers have experience in formulating development strategies and in structuring, negotiating, and documenting cross-border transactions in every region of the world.

We work with our clients to design powerful development strategies that drive their long-term visions—and build international franchise structures that turn those visions into reality.
