Trusted Franchise Counsel
Founded by a top California franchise lawyer, Luther Firm, PC, was built to solve legal issues for franchisees and emerging franchisors. Whether you are just getting started or own and operate many franchises, you face challenges every day. We have deep experience in every aspect of the franchise industry. We provide both dispute representation and agreement services. We can assist you whether you are starting or buying a franchise, are expanding, or in a dispute. If you need a legal review of a franchise, business, or real estate transaction or someone to prepare or negotiate the related agreements, we can help you. If you need to franchise your business and comply with federal and state laws, we will prepare all the necessary documents and filings for you. If you’re in a dispute, we will negotiate, litigate and resolve the matter by settlement or trial to achieve your objectives.
Provide Exceptional Legal Services
At Luther Firm, our recipe is simple:
• First, be the foremost experts in franchise law and legal issues that franchisees and franchisors face.
• Second, use our expertise to efficiently obtain results for clients.
• Third, creativity is a hallmark of the firm. This means thinking of win-win solutions to make deals happen and pushing the envelope on legal theories and arguments to give our clients an edge in litigation.
Combined, we believe we offer franchise legal services that rival any firm in the country and provide considerable value.
Craft Win-Win Solutions But Always Be Ready to Litigate
We know that franchisees and franchisors are in long-term relationships, and often the best strategy is to craft win-win solutions for all parties. Our experience in-house provides us an edge in these negotiations. Where possible, we help franchisees, franchisee associations and franchisors resolve disputes without having to file a lawsuit. However, when a side does not work in good faith to find a solution, we will use the legal system to accomplish your objectives. As Theodore Roosevelt once said, “speak softly and carry a big stick.” Working on behalf of our clients, we have obtained over $20 million in judgments and settlements.
Your Success is Our Success
We are passionate about representing franchisees and franchisors because we believe franchising to be the American dream. It’s an opportunity for people to take a risk and build something for themselves and their families. But in starting any business, there can be obstacles on the way. We want to make sure you start in the right franchise system, a system built for your success. And if there are problems in your franchise relationship or with third parties, we want to help you navigate them so you can focus on building your business. We built this firm because we are passionate about your success, both defending and fueling it.
