If Eric Riess telling you to use franchise attorney isn’t enough, here’s an Ask Franny column from Blue Mau Mau on why it’s so important.

In this edition, an attorney is writing to ask some advice on representing his friend who is interested in franchising his business.  As Harold Kestenbaum so wisely puts it, “The last think you need to do is learn a complex area like franchise law, on the fly, at the expense of your friend.  I dare say that it would take you years to learn the ‘nuts and bolts’ of franchising.”

If you’re interested in buying a franchise, making your business into a franchise, or if you’re an attorney with a client interested in franchising, make sure to get connected with a reputable franchise attorney that has experience in the field, someone that knows their “nuts and bolts.”

Here’s a video of Eric discussing the goals of a franchise attorney and the benefits of using one.  Enjoy!
