Washington D.C., USA – October 28, 2025 - There is no aspect of a franchise relationship where it is more critical to have a franchise attorney than when entering into a franchise agreement. At such times, one needs to know their rights and obligations beforehand so they don't sign a contract that can come back to haunt them later when they decide it is time to move on from the business. Franchise attorney Mario L. Herman can be of help, as he has worked with hundreds of franchisees over his 30-plus years of experience and thus knows the ins and outs of franchise law.Answering a query, the company spokesperson said, "The first step in addressing a violation of the franchise agreement is to carefully review the document to identify the clause that the franchisee has violated and document it. That is, the nature of the breach, cite the specific section of the agreement that was violated, and provide a clear timeframe to cure the default as required by the contract and state law."
From restaurants to hotels to franchise companies large and small, Mario L. Herman has the experience one needs to not only review but also negotiate precise terms and get protections that protect their investment and operations. One of the things that the attorney assists their clients to carefully review is the aspect of termination. This can typically pose a substantial risk to the client if the franchisor is left with unrestricted power to terminate franchise agreement without valid cause. Such unilateral termination rights should be seen as red flags and be negotiated aggressively. So, reach out to the attorney today and let him provide clarity and confidence that enables franchise success.
The company spokesperson added, "One can give a formal termination notice if the franchisee does not remedy the breach within the specified time. However, every case is unique, which requires the advice of an experienced franchise counsel."

He strives to resolve them through arbitration as part of his legal services franchise , and has so far represented franchisees in disputes involving territorial encroachment, false earnings claims, trademark violations, non-compete agreements, and more.
