Some attorneys simply pass legal work off to associates. Not Rick Johnson. Rick invests his time and attention to detail to understand the nuances of your business. He combines this knowledge with his franchise law and business experience to help you achieve your goals.
As one multinational franchisor observes:
“There are two kinds of lawyers: lawyers who make deals happen, and lawyers who stop deals from happening. Rick makes deals happen.”
Having a middleman is sometimes considered negative. Not in the business of franchising. As every investor, entrepreneur, or business owner knows, the key is finding the right middleman to secure a successful deal. That is where Rick comes in. Whether you are an experienced franchisor or an entrepreneur first considering franchising, you can benefit from Rick’s hands-on domestic and international franchise law experience.
When you work with Rick, you get the skill and experience of a “big firm” lawyer—at a boutique firm price.
With over 27 years of experience, Rick provides big firm experience at small firm prices. Clients are treated as valued partners, not billable time. Rick’s experience means he can answer many of your franchise law questions without time-consuming and costly research.
Rick’s skill, value, and work ethic are summed up by a U.S. franchisor:
“In a time when mediocrity abounds, we find ourselves at a loss for words over the service, advice, and detailed care you have given both us and our business. Time and time again you have come through for us, mentored us, and looked out for our interests. I know you may feel that this is what we pay you for, and it’s just your job, but we wanted you to know that we recognize your commitment to excellence in everything that you do for us. You always give more than we expect.”
Rick has consistently been named a “Franchising Legal Eagle”—a top franchise professional—by Franchise Times magazine.

We are located in metropolitan Atlanta, Georgia. However, we represent franchisors across the United States, and franchisors from international jurisdictions that franchise in the United States.
Franchise law in the United States is both federal and state. The federal rules governing franchising apply in every jurisdiction in the United States. In addition, many states have their own franchise laws. We are experienced in the requirements of those laws, because we have represented franchisors in transactions across the United States.
We have state-of-the art technology. As a result, we can do business on the far side of the world almost as easily as we can do business across the conference table.
If you want to take your business to the next level through domestic or international franchise development, contact The Johnson Franchise Law Firm today 770-529-2762 or toll free at 866-953-6204.
