Specializing in Franchise Law

International and American Franchise Attorney

Purchasing a franchise is a common quick-start business opportunity for new entrepreneurs. Franchises have name brand recognition, a tried and true product that fits the needs of consumers, and an established method of doing business. As a potential franchisee, you may be tempted to jump into buying a franchise before you have identified the risks. As an experienced international and United States franchise lawyer, I can help you decide if buying a franchise is the right fit for you.

Are you interested in buying a franchise? Do you need a lawyer's help with a franchise law issue? Please contact me, Mario L. Herman, to arrange your consultation.

Opportunity for growth

The opportunity for growth in international and domestic franchising is virtually limitless. Franchises market to and fulfill the needs of consumers throughout various aspects of their lives. Many consumers are loyal to brands, choosing to stay in a hotel or eat at a restaurant they have heard of or have experience with. As a franchisee, you can provide a service to consumers while fulfilling their needs for familiarity and convenience. I help franchisees in a variety of industries. In addition to hotel and restaurant franchisees, I help clients get into the printing and postal communication business. I help those interested in health, wellness, beauty, and fitness. I also help prospective franchisees in the domestic services industry.

I provide a complete line of services to prospective franchisees. My legal services include advising you on the steps to take before buying a business, and I represent clients who need to resolve disputes through arbitration.
