Spadea Lignana Franchise Attorneys

<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/avery-korman-57378148?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=spadea-lignana-franchise-attorney-avery-korman-2725364" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Avery Korman</a>, a seasoned attorney at&nbsp;<a href="https://1851franchise.com/spadealignanafranchiseattorneys">Spadea Lignana</a>, is a prime example of how a unique blend of law and business acumen can be a major advantage in the world of franchising.&nbsp;Korman's journey into the legal world was sparked by an undergraduate business law class that not only piqued her interest, but also showcased her innate understanding and passion for the field.&nbsp; "I found that I loved it, understood the material well, and — while I had always harbored an interest in law — I had never seriously considered it as a career path,” said Korman. “It served as an introduction to law school in a way. After graduating, I made the decision to attend law school at Elon Law in North Carolina, knowing I would focus on the transactional and drafting side of law.”Raised in the Washington, D.C., area, Korman's exposure to the legislative process was also enriched by her time working as a legal intern and, later, in a congressional caucus.&nbsp; “While attending law school, our local district congressman was one of the guest speakers,” said Korman. “Inspired by his work, I decided to enter government service — it seemed like the natural path to take. This ambition led me to secure a position in his office, where I served as a legal intern. Later, when he became president of a congressional caucus, I continued to work there after completing law school.” Around this time, Korman and her husband, who is also an attorney, made the decision to relocate to Pennsylvania. After briefly working at a legal compliance firm and serving as in-house counsel, Korman took a role at&nbsp;<a href="https://www.spadealaw.com/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=spadea-lignana-franchise-attorney-avery-korman-2725364" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Spadea Lignana</a>. “Throughout my career, my roles have always been centered on business, but with a particular focus on assisting individuals who are just starting out,” said Korman. “I have been able to help them progress, pursue their passions and steer their endeavors in the desired direction, albeit through various capacities. That is why I knew the franchise industry would be a great fit.” Since joining the firm in March of 2022, Korman has undertaken a variety of responsibilities, from drafting and state registrations to client management and legal advisory. She currently works with over 50 franchisor clients.&nbsp;“Working at Spadea Lignana feels distinctively different and more fulfilling than any other position I've held before,” said Korman.&nbsp;For franchisors or potential franchisors, Spadea Lignana offers several legal services and areas of practice. This includes help with&nbsp;<a href="https://www.spadealaw.com/franchise-law/franchising-your-business?utm_source=1851franchise.com&amp%3Butm_medium=article&amp%3Butm_campaign=Services+and+Areas+of+Practice+&utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=spadea-lignana-franchise-attorney-avery-korman-2725364" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">franchising the business</a>,<a href="https://www.spadealaw.com/franchise-law/compliance-systems-for-franchisors?utm_source=1851franchise.com&amp%3Butm_medium=article&amp%3Butm_campaign=Services+and+Areas+of+Practice+&utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=spadea-lignana-franchise-attorney-avery-korman-2725364" target="_blank" rel="nofollow"> compliance systems</a> and a proprietary disclosure system.

Through its proprietary cloud-based system Spadea Lignana can effectively and efficiently manage FDDs and franchise agreement executions for a flat monthly fee.<a href="https://www.spadealaw.com/resources/lifecycle-franchise-system?utm_source=1851franchise.com&amp%3Butm_medium=article&amp%3Butm_campaign=CORE+Program+for+Franchisors&utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=spadea-lignana-franchise-attorney-avery-korman-2725364" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">&nbsp;</a>The firm’s&nbsp;<a href="https://www.spadealaw.com/franchise-law/flat-fee-franchisor-services?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=spadea-lignana-franchise-attorney-avery-korman-2725364" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">unique flat monthly fee subscription model</a> also ensures that clients don’t have to worry about being billed for small talk and don’t have to rush through calls. By taking away the hourly fee, Spadea Lignana is able to align interests and become an efficient, long-term partner in each client’s success. Korman emphasizes the importance of building relationships with clients, going beyond mere legal transactions to forge connections that are both personal and professional. “We dedicate a significant amount of time to communication and nurturing these relationships,” said Korman. “This approach significantly enhances the effectiveness of the attorney-client relationship, as understanding more about our clients' lives enables us to better cater to their needs. If a client has children, I know their names. If they have a specific busy time of the year, I make sure to schedule meetings on their off period.”When it comes to the culture of Spadea Lignana, Korman says the team is just as supportive to each other as they are to their clients. For example, as a new mom who recently came back from maternity leave, she says the Spadea team has been incredibly supportive and helpful in understanding her work-life balance needs. “I truly enjoy my job and the people I work with,” said Korman. “Whenever I need assistance, I never feel as though seeking help is frowned upon, which can sometimes be the case in law firm cultures. I feel comfortable asking my colleagues questions, and I genuinely enjoy going to the office. Although my days are busy, they are never bad.” Overall, Korman says her role at Spadea Lignana has been a full circle moment for her legal career. “When I started on Capitol Hill, I learned how laws are made, negotiated and decided upon,” said Korman. “This has given me a unique ability to understand the reasoning&nbsp;behind laws and statutes and apply these insights into my practice. Ending up at Spadea Lignana, where I can incorporate various aspects of my past experiences into a specialized area of law I hadn't previously known, has really felt like tying the perfect bow on top of my career.” For more information, visit:&nbsp;<a href="https://www.spadealaw.com/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=spadea-lignana-franchise-attorney-avery-korman-2725364" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">https://www.spadealaw.com/</a>

<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/alex-gingold-a5653159/">Alex</a> and&nbsp;<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/amanda-gingold-a8b65028">Amanda Gingold’s</a> journey into entrepreneurship began with humble roots. The married couple turned a chance encounter with an online ad for donut-making equipment into a franchising empire, co-founding&nbsp;<a href="https://donutnvfranchise.com/">DonutNV</a>, a mobile donut-making business that now touts nearly 150 trucks across the country.&nbsp;Burned out by their careers in vending/amusement and luxury retail management respectively, the Gingolds spotted a Craigslist ad for used donut-making equipment that came with a kiosk. It planted a seed. And the&nbsp;<a href="https://1851franchise.com/growth-club/donutnv-franchise-opportunity">DonutNV</a> dream was born. Shortly thereafter, once timing allowed, that dream became a reality.&nbsp;“One Tuesday, Amanda called me and said, ‘I just got fired.’ I said, ‘So, we’re doing donuts?’ And she agreed,” Alex said of the formative moment. “We bought the equipment the following weekend, got the lease and, after overcoming legal hurdles and permitting issues, opened Memorial Day weekend 2014. Lines wrapped around the kiosk. And we ran out of donuts that first day — our only day ever running out!”Within two months of Amanda’s job loss, the Gingolds turned that kiosk into their first Cinnimini Donuts location at a mall in Philadelphia. In 2017, they rebranded as DonutNV, broadened the menu and began laying the groundwork for a scalable operation, franchising by 2019. The Gingolds were ahead of the then still-to-come food truck craze and today operate nearly 150 mobile donut-making trucks across the country, supporting franchisees following their unexpected pivot from business owners to franchisors.&nbsp;Building their business organically without private equity or investors, the DonutNV story functions as a relatable franchising success story. Growing through a commitment to both franchisees and community has allowed DonutNV to scale with a franchisee-first mindset as the business eyes a 2026 goal of international expansion.&nbsp;<h2>Growth Through Innovation and Community</h2>DonutNV’s growth has been about more than just delicious donuts. The Gingolds explored mobile opportunities early, first with mobile trailers and eventually food trucks, capitalizing on the built-in customer base of outlet malls as part of a strategic expansion into high-traffic areas.The menu evolved alongside the brand. By 2017, the Gingolds had added seven freshly squeezed lemonade flavors — even as some competitors began to cut costs with concentrated juices — and a variety of toppings to their vanilla cake mini-donut base.&nbsp;As part of the growth, the Gingolds were able to partner with franchisees to make a difference at the local level, an increasingly impactful element of their approach to franchising.“Customers requested us at weddings, corporate events and festivals. Our relationship with Simon Premium Outlets grew. We opened more trailers and later a truck, including locations in Florida and Pennsylvania,” Alex said. “And we partnered with [Green Bay Packers Hall of Fame wide receiver] Donald Driver for the ‘Donut Smackdown’ fundraiser for the Boys &amp; Girls Clubs of Greater Milwaukee, raising $167,000. That event will go national next year.”<h2>Laying the Franchising Foundation</h2>Responsible scaling with a focus on franchisees remains a priority. As DonutNV’s popularity rose, the Gingolds became acutely aware that the growth they hoped for would require strong legal expertise. By the time DonutNV had signed its first franchisee in 2019, the mobile franchise had already built the infrastructure necessary to deliver franchisee support via a dependable system predicated on strong operations, training and logistics, giving owners confidence and stability during a tumultuous period.&nbsp;In the spring of 2025, DonutNV hired&nbsp;<a href="https://www.spadealaw.com/">Spadea Lignana</a> franchise attorneys to help them with their next stage of growth.&nbsp;“I always said one day I’d hire&nbsp;<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/tom-spadea-a696256">Tom Spadea</a> as my attorney,” Alex said. “He was part of our rebrand in 2017 into 2018, before we franchised, when we rebranded from&nbsp;Cinnimini to DonutNV. He had helped me through trademark issues before and he saved me a lot of money. So, I always said one day when I could afford Tom as my attorney, he's going to be my attorney. And that day came a couple years later.”<h2>The In-House Difference</h2>Franchising, the Gingolds quickly learned, requires careful selection and ongoing support.When franchisees began having issues with a trailer manufacturer that was slow to address warranty issues, the Gingolds stepped in behind the scenes to fix a timely, critical issue for franchisees — a clear example of the couple’s hands-on approach to their role as franchisors.Streamlining operations, DonutNV soon began to place a premium on further infrastructure improvements, bringing manufacturing of the donut mix in-house via a new facility in Georgia that combines the corporate office with a training facility and logistics center. The move enables closer oversight of quality than outsourcing and helps minimize the impact of fluctuating tariffs, ultimately lowering overhead.&nbsp;DonutNV further supports franchisees with a flat royalty model, enabling owners to retain a greater portion of the overall profits.&nbsp;“COVID delayed some expansion. But we focused on supporting our initial franchisees and refining processes: trailer manufacturing, donut mix production, logistics and scaling. By mid-2022, we grew from 14 franchises to 40 and then nearly 100 by the end of 2023. We currently operate 147 open locations,” Alex said. “The right franchisee is key. Many assume buying a franchise is simple, but having committed, capable operators is critical. We focus on supporting them, not micromanaging.”<h2>A Sweet Future</h2>With its commitment to community and franchisees — and great donuts — DonutNV has scaled responsibly. Bringing together manufacturing, management and logistics under one roof has helped lower overhead, delivering even greater benefits to franchisees under the flat royalty model.From Craigslist to a thriving franchise in just about a decade, the DonutNV story is one of organic growth and success in franchising. Partnering with&nbsp;<a href="https://1851franchise.com/supplier/spadea-lignana-franchise-attorneys">Spadea Lignana</a> helped fuel early growth; the Gingolds are capitalizing on that experience to roll out an aggressive expansion plan for 2026 and beyond.&nbsp;“We’re approaching 150 open units with a goal of 500-plus. So, looking ahead to 2026, we aim for international expansion, starting in the Bahamas,” Alex said. “Our goal remains making the world a sweeter place, delivering memorable experiences and supporting our franchisees.”For more information on Spadea Lignana, please visit&nbsp;<a href="https://www.spadealaw.com/">https://www.spadealaw.com/</a>.For more information on DonutNV, please visit&nbsp;<a href="https://donutnvfranchise.com/">https://donutnvfranchise.com/</a>.
