Do you need a great franchise lawyer? Look no further than the Franchise Times Legal Eagles. These lawyers live and breathe franchising and understand the nuances of the unique business model. Against a backdrop of industry changes, economic uncertainty and heightened interest in franchising, these exceptional professionals are more necessary than ever.
With a keen mind for both the legalese and business, they understand the gravitas of every legal battle, every transaction and the importance of every document. That engenders a spirit of collaboration and efficiency among this tight-knit group of legal professionals.
As part of this year's Legal Eagles package, we cover a mix of important legal topics and government action.
We break down the FTC’s review of the Franchise Rule, and report on which state legislatures are following in California’s FAST Act footsteps: Attorneys Weigh In as Action at FTC Turns to Franchising; Franchise Attorneys Eye 'Californication' Bills at State Level
Find out how attorneys helped their clients pull off major M&A deals: Attorneys Talk M&A and What It Takes to Get Big Franchise Deals Done
Also check out how these legal pros are assisting clients as they navigate force majeure matters in response to international issues: Force Majeure Comes Into Focus as International Franchise Landscape Shifts
Finally, meet the new class of Legal Eagles and find out who made the Hall of Fame: Top Franchise Attorneys on the Metaverse, Lease Battles and More
Congratulations to all our Legal Eagles.
