Some lawyers specialized in defending the interests of the franchisor are very effective because they have a specific profile:

a.    Perfect understanding of the franchisor’s job
b.    Excellent in legal procedures
c.    Aggressive and combative state of mind
d.    Taking the time to read all elements of a case (which is rare, most of them only take a glance at them!)
e.    Knowing the tricks to get the lawyers of the Franchisees into a predicament
f.    Not closed by principle to negotiation and/or conciliation
g.    Expert in the management of the franchisor-franchisee power struggle

Franchiseland, the CEDRE and Olivier Gast recommend Maître Gilles Menguy as an expert lawyer (competent and available), barrister at the Paris Bar & Solicitor of England and Wales (telephone: 00331 45 02 21 00).
