Franchise law expert Evan Goldman has co-founded The Franchise Firm LLP, a law firm representing professionals in all facets and stages of franchising. He has more than 13 years of experience representing entrepreneurs in franchising throughout North America, South America, Europe, Asia, and beyond. In addition to his work in franchising, Goldman has also assisted non-franchised clients in termination issues, breach of contract, fraud claims, and more across a variety of industries

“I am excited to co-found The Franchise Firm LLP with my friends and colleagues, Brett M. Buterick, Natalie Restivo, and Adam Wasch. We are a one-stop shop for franchisors and franchisees looking to fulfill their legal needs,” Goldman said. 

Over the last few years, Goldman and his partners have noticed a shift in client expectations and a desire for smaller, more aligned practices. What excites him about The Franchise Firm is its focus on harnessing clients’ entrepreneurial spirit while providing legal services to match.
