Top Franchise Legal Players: Fredric A. Cohen, Founding Partner of Cheng Cohen
With more than three decades worth of franchise law experience, Cohen shares an in-depth understanding of the state of the industry, common legal mistakes franchisors make and more.
Fredric A. Cohen, a seasoned business and commercial litigator and trial lawyer, is one of the founding partners of franchise law firm Cheng Cohen LLC. For more than 30 years, Cohen has represented many of the nation’s most prominent franchise, licensing and distribution companies in a wide variety of lawsuits from complex multi-forum class action litigation to standard enforcement actions and everything in between. Today, Cheng Cohen specializes in franchise compliance and growth law and is proud to have the largest legal team dedicated to the franchise industry.
Cohen says his favorite part of working with franchise brands is the opportunity to learn something new every single day from people who inspire him.
“Every case I have could involve a different industry,” Cohen said. “Every day is new, and every challenge is fresh. But what I really love is the people I get to work with. Creative, original, excited, entrepreneurial — those are the people I like to deal with everyday, and franchising attracts people like that.”
