Franchisee Attorneys

In ServiceMaster v. Fred and Marlene Geyen (2000), we defeated the franchisor’s efforts to enforce a post-termination covenant not to compete.  The Court allowed the franchisee to compete.

In Furlev Sales and Associates, Inc. v. North American Automotive Warehouse, Inc., we sought and obtained a jury award of compensatory and punitive damages against the individual owner of the corporate party to the contract with our clients, for tortious interference with the contract.

In Moseley’s & Company et al. v. The Maxim Group Inc. and GCO, Inc., the court refused to enforce a covenant not to compete against our franchisee client, who had taken down the franchisor’s signs and operated independently.

In Sona Laser Centers v. Amoruso, a franchisee terminated its relationship with the franchisor who then sought to enjoin the franchisee from operating, pursuant to the non-compete in the franchise agreement.  We defeated the franchisor’s motion, such that the franchisee was allowed to operate as an independent business.
