International Franchise Transaction Lawyer in Washington, D.C.

A solid contractual relationship between franchisee and franchisor is a principal component of lasting success. A well-drafted contract clearly outlines the expectations, responsibilities and obligations of both parties.

I am international franchisee attorney Mario L. Herman. Over the course of my more than 25 years of experience, I have reviewed, negotiated and drafted countless contracts and other franchise transactions. Contact me to learn how I can put my experience to work for you.

My services vary according to the needs of my clients and include:

  • Reviewing franchise agreements and exposure documents
  • Reviewing settlement and confidentiality agreements
  • Negotiating franchise agreements and purchasing contracts
  • Helping clients understand the trademark and international licensing issues under their franchise contract
  • Negotiating buy-sell agreements

Reviewing Contracts and Other Franchise Agreements

A franchisee's best defense against a potential legal dispute is to be well-informed of their contractual rights and responsibilities. However, this can be confusing, especially if you are a foreigner purchasing a U.S. franchise. Not only do you need to understand your rights and obligations under your own country's laws, but also under U.S. franchise law.

As an attorney with an extensive background in both domestic and international franchise law, I can review your agreement and help you understand the terms to which you are agreeing.

Franchise Transaction Disputes

Legal disputes are inevitable in the world of franchise law. I represent franchisees in litigation, mediation and arbitration to resolve disputes involving territorial encroachment, trademark infringement claims and fraud, among other issues.
