Many young folks wish to get a law degree and practice law. Some do not know which type of law they wish to practice. If they choose business law there are so many specialties and it is hard to decide. One area of law, which is fun and exciting is franchise law. And it is an area of law, which could not only use some competition it could really use some new blood and fresh brains. How so you ask?

Well, some say franchising lawyers are not very good for the most part. Oh sure there are some standouts, but so few really. In discussing this recently with a veteran franchising business consultant he said;

"Yes, but I think most Franchise Lawyers scare me, and are not knowledable about franchising anyway. I have met a ton of them I would not hire for advice, I know more than 90% of them actually and when I watch the ABA list serve it really scares me some of the stupid questions they ask. I mean WOW, this person practices franchise Law and he is asking that question of the group, you have to be kidding me?"

Where as I had nothing nice to say about lawyers I did not reply to his comment or make the usual negative and degrading comment about franchising lawyers. Instead I simply remembered a very wise man who once told me that Lawyers are not most self-serving group of hoodlums on the planet. And I thought to myself I should just leave it at that.

So, where does this all leave you in your future career as a franchising attorney? Well it leaves the door wide open actually because the industry is not well served and needs new franchise lawyer entrants who will work hard for the industry; both the consumer and companies. Consider all this in 2006.
