Don't sign that!
A good lawyer understands the business
Don't sign that !!!!
 
Never sign a lease without advice from your lawyer. There are all sorts of variables involved in a lease, and all of them are negotiable. A lawyer can help you structure a lease to your best advantage. A lawyer will also understand the impact of all the regulatory issues involved.
 
Franchise agreements, if you decide to pursue a franchise, we strongly advise you to hire a lawyer to review the franchise agreement before you sign on the dotted line. You could end up owing your franchisor all sorts of fees and royalties before you have a chance to make a dime, and you won't be able to walk away from the franchise without leaving yourself open to a lawsuit.
 
Employment issues. If you don't consult your lawyer you could end up at the wrong end of a lawsuit for violating provincial or federal human rights codes or labour standards or for simple wrongful dismissal. Then you'll really need a lawyer!
 
Collections. For a fee, either a flat rate or a percentage of the amount involved, a lawyer will contact the account.
