What topics do you cover in your legal blog?

Franchising, business law.

What inspired you to start your blog?

To provide real-world, on-the-ground information to those considering buying a franchise, those already in the trenches, franchisors, and the franchise industry. Often franchisees don't understand what they're getting into until they've already signed legal franchise documents. On the other side of the equation, franchisors can benefit from learning smart ways to grow their brand and determine whether franchising is the right growth model for them.

Advice

We share tips for those thinking of taking the plunge into the franchise world as well as look to others who are in the throes of franchising to reflect upon their experiences. When done right, franchising can be a great model for both franchisors and franchisees (or ‘zors and ‘zees, as they’re affectionately known). At the same time, all parties need to be cautious when approaching franchising because there are plenty of pitfalls.

Written by experienced franchise lawyers, Franchise Musings aspires to offer useful information that leads to success for folks on both sides of the franchise equation.
