There are a lot of attorneys. Here's what's different about us.
1.We've Seen Both Sides of the Deal
Most franchise attorneys specialize in one side: either franchisors or franchisees. We represent both, so we know exactly how the other side negotiates, where they push, and what leverage actually looks like.
2. Big Law Training. Boutique Pricing.
Managing Partner Anthony Lopes trained and practiced at Duane Morris LLP, an AmLaw 100 national firm. You get that caliber of legal work without the BigLaw billing rates.
3. Flat Fees. No Surprise Invoices.
We charge flat fees for the majority of our work. When hourly rates are necessary, we provide upfront estimates and milestone caps. You know what you're paying before any work begins.
4. We Understand Business, Not Just Law
Anthony has been involved in building and operating businesses since 2009. We understand the real-world stakes behind every legal decision, not just the documents.
5. National Representation
We represent franchisees and franchisors across the country. Most of our work happens over phone, video, and email.
6. One Attorney, Not a Revolving Door
When you hire Lopes Law, you work directly with your attorney, not a paralegal or junior associate. You know who is handling your matter, and they know your situation.
