What makes your firm stand out as a resource for the franchise industry?

My law partner and I have over 30 years working in the franchise industry, including working in-house for an international franchisor. &nbsp;&nbsp;Working in-house allowed us to witness first-hand the day to day issues and complexities of franchising.&nbsp; This experience makes it easier to understand and identify issues our franchisor clients are facing even though we are not on-site.

What is the No. 1 thing a franchisor/franchisee should look for when identifying the right franchise attorney?

Experience is very important.&nbsp; But there also must be a desire to see that you are successful.&nbsp;

When it comes to your work, what makes you happiest?

I am happiest when I help a client overcome an obstacle, big or small.

What are your top concerns for the franchise industry in the next year?

The increasing number of franchise brands and competition for prospects.&nbsp;

What are you most optimistic about in the franchise industry in the next year?

Increased interest in entrepreneurship by both franchisors and franchisees.
