What makes your firm stand out as a resource for the franchise industry?

Moye White has built a franchise team that is capable of helping clients through a variety of legal issues that may face their business. We&rsquo;ve established a team that has the depth and experience of a large, national practice while also preserving our ability to manage costs efficiently without sacrificing our commitment to client service. We have built a team around our franchise clients&rsquo; legal needs and, as a result, we help clients ranging from startups to household name restaurants, retailers and service franchises covering all aspects of their legal issues.

What is the No. 1 thing a franchisor/franchisee should look for when identifying the right franchise attorney?

Franchisors and franchisees should look for a firm that has the ability to help them throughout the life of their business from startup through their growth phases and beyond to succession planning.&nbsp; Our team emphasizes this whenever we meet a new client given the efficiencies gained by having one law firm to help you across a range of regulatory, trademark and dispute resolution-related matters.

When it comes to your work, what makes you happiest?

The thing that I find most rewarding is applying my experience in ways that help my clients grow really remarkable brands. &nbsp;I enjoy helping our franchise clients navigate challenges, pursue new opportunities and ultimately achieve the vision they have for their businesses. &nbsp;

What are your top concerns for the franchise industry in the next year?

In the coming year, one of the issues that stands to have a significant impact across the board is the new revenue recognition rule.

The Financial Accounting Standards Board has announced a change in how initial fees will be recognized on annual financial statements &ndash; this change not only has the ability to dramatically impact numbers at the bottom line but also affect how a franchisor&rsquo;s financial condition is perceived by prospective franchisees, franchisors, and state franchise examiners.

What are you most optimistic about in the franchise industry in the next year?

A big issue that has been lingering for nearly a decade, but is close to being resolved, is the joint employer issue. &nbsp;Resolutions to long-pending court cases and changes in the make-up of the National Labor Relations Board will help clarify the standards for determining when a franchisor may be considered a joint employer of the franchisee&rsquo;s employees.&nbsp; It&rsquo;s time to put this issue to rest.&nbsp;
