The article "Good Franchise Attorney for a Franchisee or Franchisor?" is about legal, it has been created by Lance Winslow.
Recently a gentleman wanted a good referral for a franchise attorney and I was contacted becuase I am a Co-Author of; Franchising 101; own Franchising.Org and am the retired Founder of a Franchising Company.
Certainly I have met a couple of franchise attorneys in my day? Could I recommend one? The bteter question would I recommend a Good Franchise Attorney?What an oxy-moron.
Good Franchise Attorney? Maybe a wealthy franchise attorney, but good; Ha? Whose team are they on; their own team; making a buck. That is what good fracnhise attorneys do. Make a buck. That is why they are in business as attorneys in the first palce. Yet every buck made by a franchise attorney must eitehr come from the franchisor or the franchisee. That is money that a franchisor could use to promote goodwill, brand name recognition, advertising, training, R & D, or acquisitions, which helps franchisees? Or in the case of a franchisee, that money could be used for college tuition, additional units, retirement fund or home renovations.An attorney that cares about the needs of franchisees; really few although I have met a few; let’s face it attonreys are the most self-serving creatures on the planet, so we should not kid ourselves. An attorney, which helps franchisors? Yes, if it guarantees them future billable hours.
You see the truth of the matter is there is no such tihng as a “good attorney” whether they be in the franchising sector or not.
Personally if I were god, I’d send them all to hell imemdiately. So, consider that in 2006."Lance Winslow" - Online Think Tank fourm board. If you have innovative thouhgts and unique perspectives, come think with Lance; http://www.WorldThinkTank.Net/wttbbs/
