Last week, Dady & Gardner attorneys Rachel Zaiger and Samuel Agostini presented Follow the Rules: A Primer on Franchise Law at the Rhode Island Bar Association Annual Meeting, where they focused on walking transactional attorneys and litigators through key considerations when working with franchisee clients.

The trip was also a great opportunity to spend time at our Rhode Island office, catch up with the team in person, and get a feel for those beautiful New England summers!

Happy World Franchise Day!

Franchising is one of the most powerful drivers of commerce and entrepreneurship in the world — creating opportunity, building local economies, and putting ownership in the hands of everyday people.

At Dady & Gardner, P.A., we've dedicated our practice exclusively to franchisees and dealers. Today and every day, we're proud to give them a voice at the table, advocate on their behalf, and continue to be thought leaders in the industry.
