We’re working with a large, growing restaurant franchise group that owns and operates a portfolio of well-known brands across the U.S. The business is highly active on the acquisition side, so they’re looking to bring in a strong in-house attorney to take ownership of M&A and broader transactional work.
This is a hands-on role where you’ll be right in the middle of deals, working closely with senior leadership and external counsel to keep transactions moving and ensure everything is structured properly from a legal perspective.
What You’ll Be Doing

- Run due diligence and flag key risks early in the process
- Draft and negotiate core deal documents (purchase agreements, franchise transfers, asset/stock deals)
- Support post-deal integration and entity restructuring work
- Advise on franchise law, governance, and day-to-day corporate legal issues across multiple states
- Handle entity setup, maintenance, and required filings
- Ensure compliance with franchise disclosure and regulatory requirements
What We’re Looking For
- JD with active bar membership
- 5–7+ years’ experience in corporate, transactional, or franchise law
- Strong exposure to M&A deals and commercial transactions
- Comfortable working in a fast-moving, multi-entity environment
- Good understanding of compliance and corporate structures
- Strong drafting, negotiation, and problem-solving skills
- Someone who is practical, detail-focused, and confident managing sensitive work
