“ I have been in franchising for more
than 10 years and my company recently passed the 25-year mark. Franchising
is an industry that has constantly changing regulatory requirements and
is historically litigious. Pitegoff Law Office PLLC has handled many aspects
of our legal needs, including contract review, computer policies, and
many others. I have been extremely pleased with the efforts of Tom Pitegoff
and his team. They are always prompt, efficient, courteous and willing
to go the extra mile for us. We consider the Pitegoff Law Office PLLC an important
business partner and would highly recommend the firm to anyone seeking
quality legal representation and advice. ”

“ Although we are a well established
company in Asia with over 200 stores, our entry into the U.S. was intimidating
with its structured processes and intricate, state-specific franchise
laws. With its deep experience in franchise development and their attention
to detail, the Pitegoff Law Office PLLC proved to be an ideal partner in the
entire process. We are now firmly established here in the U.S. and we
couldn't have done it without the support of Tom and his team. ”

“ Tom Pitegoff’s knowledge and experience in both franchising and computer technology were critical to the successful launch of our franchise business in the U.S. He worked with us to craft clear documents describing a novel and complex business. He did so in record time, meeting the unrealistic deadlines we imposed before we understood the true enormity of our project. His UFOC was so well drafted that the state examiners required minimal changes, if any. We couldn’t be more pleased with Tom and his staff at Pitegoff Law Office PLLC and we look forward to our continuing business relationship.”

“ Tom Pitegoff was enormously helpful to us in our review of the franchise offering of Camille’s Sidewalk Café. When we approached Pitegoff Law Office PLLC, we had experience in the restaurant business, but not in franchising. With Tom’s help, we negotiated a far better development and franchise agreement than we possibly could have done on our own. Now, we have a highly successful Camille’s Sidewalk Café franchise operating in White Plains, and we plan to open more locations soon.”

In addition, his patient and caring disposition made facing and understanding the breadth of legal complexity associated with franchising a much less ominous task. I highly recommend Tom Pitegoff and his legal team and will without a doubt continue to enlist his professional services going forward.”

"
I was all set to buy a franchise
but asked Tom to review the offering circular for me. Tom
told me that the circular and franchise agreement were well-written
but that the business
terms appeared unusually harsh and outside of the norm of
franchising. He urged me to think again about the economics
of the offer. Sometimes
the best advice a lawyer can give you is 'are you sure you
want to do this?’ "

a pleasure. We needed license terms and conditions for our newly created,
web-based help desk software. We had a very tight deadline. Tom understood
