Lopes Law LLC Handles All Areas Of Franchise Law

FDD Review & Drafting

We review, explain, and draft Franchise Disclosure Documents that are complete, compliant, and actually understandable, for franchisees evaluating a deal or franchisors building one.

Franchise Agreement Review & Negotiation

We identify the terms that matter, flag what's unusual or one-sided, and negotiate on your behalf before you sign a long-term commitment.

Franchise Dispute Resolution

When the relationship breaks down, we represent you in negotiations, mediation, arbitration, and litigation, focused on the best outcome with the least time and cost.

Multi-State Compliance & Registration

Franchise disclosure and registration laws vary by state. We help franchisors meet requirements in every state they operate in and keep filings current.

Intellectual Property Protection

Your brand is your franchise system. We register and defend the trademarks, copyrights, and other intellectual property that your entire operation depends on.

International Franchising

Expanding into international markets brings a new layer of legal complexity. We help franchisors structure agreements, protect IP, and navigate cross-border compliance.

Why Clients Choose Lopes Law

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.

Meet Experienced Franchise Attorney Anthony Lopes, Esq.

Anthony founded Lopes Law with a straightforward goal: give business owners access to the same quality of legal representation that large corporations take for granted.

Before starting the firm, he practiced at Duane Morris LLP, one of the country's largest and most respected law firms. He holds a J.D. from Temple University's James E. Beasley School of Law and an LL.M. in Taxation with a certificate in Estate Planning.

What sets Anthony apart isn't just the credentials. It's the perspective. He's been an entrepreneur since 2009, which means he understands the real-world stakes behind every legal decision you face. He built Lopes Law to serve clients the way he'd want to be served: clear communication, transparent pricing, and strategy that actually fits your goals.

I've worked with Tony and his team on multiple projects, and let me just say how AMAZING it is to have legal support who listens and guides, and is actually curious about what we do and how we do it. Having them on a project feels more like having a trusted advisor on speed dial than any lawyers I've worked in the past. Highly recommend, especially for small businesses owners and unique operations/industries. Tony will really take the time to help you understand you!

-A.H.

We had an amazing experience working with the team at Lopes Law LLC, to resolve a major dispute we had with a franchisor. They were able to settle the matter for a full refund of our +$83K, originally deposited with that franchisor, without going to court! Their expertise in franchisee  law is unparalleled, and their ability to navigate complex legal issues is truly impressive. we felt confident and reassured throughout the entire process, knowing that we had the best legal team in our corner.

-G.L.
