Our company was entering a critical phase of expansion, requiring the negotiation of a master franchise agreement with a large, established brand. The terms were heavily weighted in favor of the franchisor, and we needed counsel who understood both the legal intricacies and the commercial realities of the franchise model. Dale Cohen at Akerman was recommended to us, and the recommendation was spot on. His background, including his recognition as a 'Legal Eagle' by Franchise Times, was immediately evident. Dale didn't just review the contract; he explained the long-term implications of each clause in clear, business-focused language. He was exceptionally accessible throughout the process, which was crucial given our tight timeline. His strategic approach helped us secure key modifications regarding territory protections and marketing fund contributions that our previous counsel had missed. The outcome was a balanced agreement that protects our investment and provides a solid foundation for growth. It's clear why he's been listed as a Super Lawyers 'Rising Star.' Dale combines sharp legal expertise with a practical understanding of what franchisees need to succeed. We have since engaged him for ongoing compliance matters with complete confidence.
