Restaurant Sales & Purchases

Nationwide Business and Restaurant Lawyers

With a career history that includes a role as general counsel, president and CEO of a nationally franchised restaurant, Houston, Texas, attorney Wayne P. Bunch has firsthand knowledge of the purchase and sale of restaurants on a local, state-wide, and national scale. This background gives him the experience necessary to approach the legal issues related to restaurant acquisition with a complete understanding of the underlying business concerns at hand. Mr. Bunch uses this experience to help clients successfully negotiate and conclude the purchase and sale of restaurants.

At the Jackson Walker L.L.P., we offer restaurant owners and other businesspeople large-firm quality with the responsiveness of a smaller law firm. In our franchising practice, clients work directly with the lawyer they hire, an attorney who knows their business goals and objectives and who can offer targeted legal advice based on that knowledge.

We provide representation for food and beverage professionals who wish to buy an existing operation, providing knowledgeable legal counsel on a variety of matters:

• Purchase and sales strategies
• Valuation of the restaurant / restaurant appraisal
• Sales terms and conditions
• Methods of finance
• Finalizing sales / closing procedures
• Growing Your Restaurant Business through Creation of a Franchise

While Mr. Bunch has represented both restaurant sellers and purchasers, his greatest focus is in the area of providing experienced counsel to start-up and emerging franchisors. Mr. Bunch offers experienced legal counsel to restaurant owners interested in growing their businesses through creation of a restaurant franchise. We support all legal and business needs as owners begin franchise organization and as they sell those restaurant franchises on a local, regional, or national level.
