When you decide to take the next step and franchise your company, we are here to guide you every step of the way, and teach you how to franchise your business. We regularly work with existing franchises in revising master franchise disclosure documents, maintaining federal trademarks, negotiating with franchisees, and more.
Running a business is a complex endeavor, and in some situations, your business may outgrow a single location and become even more complicated. Expansion is possible, but you may not wish to personally dedicate the time or resources to oversee a second location. Converting your business into a franchise may be the best solution in such cases.

Jason began his legal career in high school working as a legal assistant for a personal injury firm in Florida, where he learned the ins-and-outs of operating a law firm. He then attended the University of South Florida from 2000 to 2004 and then moved on to Barry University School of Law in Orlando, FL for his legal degree.
Can't say enough good things about the Franchise. Law team and all that they bring to the table. Honesty, integrity, and authenticity are what you can expect when working with these professionals! As a first-time startup founder, Jonathan Barber has done an excellent job at helping us create our Delaware corporation and with protecting our intellectual property.
It is also important to note that certain franchise systems are set up in a way that the North Carolina Business Opportunity Sales Act requires some franchisors to secure a surety bond for $50,000.00. This is a very fact-specific requirement, and our franchise attorneys can analyze your franchise structure and FDD to determine whether you are subject to this requirement.
Before any form of franchising is possible, it is necessary to take the proper business and legal steps to offer franchise opportunities to potential franchisees. This may require an intensive evaluation of the core business, an analysis of the marketplace, and a determination of what legal obligations the creation of the franchise will entail.

Jonathan and his team were truly exceptional in helping us with our franchise documents. He guided us through the whole process and kept it straightforward. I spoke to other franchise lawyers who were charging different fees for every little issue. Barber Law charges a flat and reasonable fee for all help, and was not stingy with his time! I would highly recommend them for any franchisee.

Great first meeting with Jonathan today. His work was very thorough, and he pointed out things that I hadn't caught yet...and maybe woudn't have until it was too late. Meeting was unhurried; he seemed to want to take the time necessary to address my concerns and questions. Everything exceeded my expectations. Could not be happier with his work and the overall process, Glad I found him!

I entered into a contract for matchmaking coaching services with a business based in NC. About half way into the contract, it became clear the owners were not going to deliver on promises made during my initial consultations or as in contractual documents.
I live in the Northeast, but the coaches live in the state of NC, where the governing law resided. As such it was important for me to locate legal representation in NC. After contacting the NC Bar Association, I was referred to Jonathan Barber’s law practice. After scheduling a 1 hour consultation, Mr. Barber concluded I had a very strong

Everyone was very professional and friendly. It's very clean inside. However, my particular issue requires more work. I wasn't able to get the help I needed/wanted with my case, but I learned of other problems I had no idea about. I was able to reach back out after my consultation and obtain important information I needed. I am grateful for having met with this law firm and being able to solve another problem instead. I would recommend this law firm. Thank you for your help again.

Jonathan Barber represented me in litigation regarding my apartment & lease and gave me excellent legal advice. He appeared with me in court on multiple occasions to dispute a claim filed by my landlord. The case was settled in my favor and has paved the road for me to move forward to a new place with my reputation and monies intact. I would highly recommend Jonathan and the firm to be hired for counsel. While handling cases with utmost professionalism, Jonathan is also someone who listens compassionately to your concerns and needs.

I needed a new will and testament. Somber exercise for sure. But the questionnaire provided in advance by the Barber Power Group allowed me to complete it in my home, on my schedule and expedited the process on the signing day.I had a couple minor revisions and they were very accommodating to my requests. Thank you, Jonathan.
