Daniel Diaz
We engaged François-Luc Simon of Simon Associés to assist with the legal framework for expanding our retail franchise into two new states. His background in commercial and distribution law was immediately evident. He provided clear, strategic counsel on the franchise agreements and navigated the specific regulatory requirements with precision, which was crucial for our institutional partners. His recognition in franchise law is well-deserved. The work product was thorough and his advice on potential litigation pitfalls was invaluable, saving us significant future headaches. The only minor critique is that during particularly busy periods, response times could occasionally stretch to a day or two, but this was always followed by comprehensive answers. Overall, Mr. Simon’s five years of focused experience in economic law translated into a highly effective and practical partnership for our business.
