The Partnership of Mario L. Herman and Gregory O. Herman is a Washington, D.C., franchise law practice that works with franchisees, franchisors, and prospective owners across the United States and abroad. Most people who contact the office are not curious shoppers. They have already signed an agreement, already put their savings behind it, and are now staring at a termination notice or a royalty demand they never saw coming. The partnership handles the full range of franchise matters, including dispute resolution. Franchise mediation is often the quieter, cheaper route out of a conflict, and the firm guides clients through it when a courtroom would only further drain the business. The practice also covers agreement review and drafting, renewals, territorial encroachment claims, false earnings claims, trademark disputes, wrongful termination, and exit strategy. Arbitration and litigation remain available when the other side refuses to move. Speaking about why so many owners wait too long, a spokesperson for the partnership said, "By the time a franchisee picks up the phone, the damage is usually months old. The agreement was signed without a lawyer reading it, the warning letters were filed away, and now there is a deadline. Mediation gives both sides a chance to settle on their own terms rather than handing the outcome to a judge or arbitrator. It works far better when it starts early, and it costs a fraction of what a full fight costs." Mario Herman has practiced franchise law for more than thirty-five years. He has lectured on franchising in Shanghai, San Jose, and Orlando, appeared on CNN, and been quoted repeatedly in the Wall Street Journal. He received recognition from the American Association of Franchisees and Dealers as Supporting Member of the Year for his leadership as Chairman of the Amicus Committee.
