## Story

More than 100 attorneys over 30 practices areas and a philosophy of putting the law to work for our clients is the basis from which we build and maintain our practice. Our attorneys are supported by a staff in excess of 200, all of whom are dedicated to providing the highest level of service to each client.

**1851**: How did you fall into franchising?

**Siegelheim**: Local businesses began to call us to franchise their businesses. I really enjoyed this aspect of the law and started to really focus on franchising.

**1851**: What do you love most about franchising?

**Siegelheim**: Helping clients come up with ways to resolve legal issues proactively before they develop into larger (and more expensive) issues.

**1851**: What makes a great client?

**Siegelheim**: A great client is a client that understands that a successful franchise system is driven by growth of same store sales, not just franchise sales.

**1851**: What makes a great franchise attorney?

**Siegelheim**: A great franchise attorney understands that a strong legal strategy also has to factor in ongoing franchise relationships. A short-term legal "win" may result in long term scars to the system that take a long time to heal.
