Firm Overview

Washington DC Franchise Law Attorney

Franchising is a significant and successful form of business.

I am international franchisee attorney Mario L. Herman, a sole practitioner specializing in franchisee matters. I have more than 20 years of experience offering international franchise counsel and representation to current, former, and prospective franchisees of an existing system. I also assist U.S. franchisees of an existing system who are looking abroad for franchisor opportunities. Contact me, Mario Herman

I have represented numerous domestic and international clients regarding the following franchise law matters:

A highly regarded franchisee expert, I have been an invited speaker on franchise issues on national television and syndicated radio, and am quoted regularly in the Wall Street Journal. I have guest lectured on U.S. franchise law at international symposiums held in Shanghai, China, and San Jose, Costa Rica, and before the American Bar Association's prestigious Forum on Franchising.

I am a proud member of the Bar of the District of Columbia, the American Association of Franchisees and Dealers, the American Bar Association, and the Inter-American Bar Association.

My personal background also has built my strong basis in international franchise law and domestic franchise law. I was born abroad, am fluent in Spanish, have traveled extensively internationally, and I lived abroad while studying international law. Such experience has developed my broad knowledge of international culture, political climates, economic trends, and treatment of certain legal issues in any given country, all critical to international franchise law.

I invest with my clients, co-venturing the service with them. Contact me, Mario L. Herman
