About Lagarias Law Offices

Lagarias Law Offices is a law firm that represents franchisees.  The firm is led by Peter Lagarias, a skilled trial attorney with over 35 years of experience in delivering dedicated legal services and results to franchisees and business throughout California and nationwide.

Services for prospective franchise buyers (due diligence):

Franchises usually require large investments and involve the execution of long-term agreements that have been carefully drafted by franchisor lawyers who are charged with protecting the franchisor’s interests.  Lagarias Law Offices can help you understand your rights and obligations, and guide you regarding the franchise terms and the potential for negotiating more favorable terms.  We can also explain common issues with one-sided franchise agreements.

Services for current or former franchisees:

Franchising disputes are complicated and involve many different areas of law, including antitrust laws, breach of contract, consumer protection laws, franchise laws, fraud and trademark laws.  Franchising disputes can also present complex procedural issues involving which court a case can be heard, what law applies, and whether the matter must be decided before an arbitrator pursuant to the franchise contract.  Sometimes procedural matters can make a real difference between winning and losing your case.  Peter Lagarias has handled hundreds of franchise cases and has experience in knowing when to settle, when to go to trial, how to negotiate, and where to find expert witnesses.  Lagarias Law Offices understands how to litigate with franchisors and will seek full compensation.

Expert witness/legal consulting services provided to other law firms:

Mr. Lagarias is a former attorney for the Federal Trade Commission (F.T.C.), was instrumental in crafting proposed California franchise legislation, and is a certified specialist in franchise and distribution law by the State Bar of California Board of Legal Specialization.
