Stephanie Grobler

Great company to work with! Our franchise system is growing with the help of very talented team of Spadea Lignana. I would like to acknowledge Meisee and Stephanie, they work long hours to make sure everything is taken care of. Highly recommend!

SmartBooks recently created a new emerging franchise concept for finance professionals that want to build their own outsourced bookkeeping and accounting business, and we partnered with Spadea Lignana Franchise Attorneys to help us with navigating the legal aspects. Our team consists of Harold, Stephanie, Margaret and Sandee and they have all been professional, responsive, and willing to share their knowledge and expertise to help us launch our franchise concept – not just with legal aspects, but general franchise information to help us build and scale our business. They worked with us to create an FDD and Franchise Agreement that is both franchisee friendly as well as has the appropriate level of protection for us as a franchisor. They deliver the FDD through their Docusign system to simplify the tracking and compliance pieces for us, and will even work directly with prospective franchisee’s attorneys to negotiate on our behalf. All of this for a fixed fee – which is very uncommon not just in the franchise world, but with attorneys in general. We are very happy with our Spadea team and would recommend them to any franchise brand.

The entire experience of launching a franchise organization with Tom, Josh and Stephanie has been top drawer. Their guidance saved me money and time in the trademarking process, and their work developing the required legal documents was airtight. Throughout, they’ve been responsive to my questions and have provided excellent advice. I trust their judgment and look forward to a long term relationship with this outstanding firm.

From my very first inquiry phone call with Tom Spadea, I was very impressed with his franchise attorney team at Spadea Lignana. I worked with franchise attorney Stephanie Grobler and she helped me launch my new franchise business. Stephanie’s efforts exceeded my expectations every step of the way. She is a talented franchise law expert and guided me through the process of preparing our Franchise Agreement and Franchise Disclosure Documents, along with filing with the states. The personal attention and care at Spadea Lignana gave me confidence navigating the whole process. I now have quality franchise contracts and am set up for success as we launch our brand new franchise offering program.

I met Tom and Josh this summer when I needed advice on how to set up my childcare franchise. Not only were both of the men highly knowledgeable in franchising but their advice and contacts have been instrumental in successfully setting up my franchise. Stephanie has been wonderful to work with and her attention to detail excellent. I felt completely at ease with them setting up my corporations and related paperwork. I highly recommend working with Spadea Lignana for all of your franchising needs. Thank you so much!

It was great working with both of you. You run a first class operation with wonderful people. Stephanie was accessible, knowledgeable and friendly every time I called her. She took her time answering my questions and always shared the best options without me feeling pressured. Hopefully everything will run smoothly going forward and we will only need to call you with positive acquisition needs.

We have been very grateful for the counsel Stephanie has provided…and impressed with her negotiating successes…We look forward to continuing to work with Stephanie on other issues as we build the business.

Stephanie is the best lawyer we have ever worked with. She is someone we can trust and someone who is willing to go the extra mile for us.

Stephanie – You saved us a lot of potential future hassle. Our developer was very impressed with the extent of your involvement. Several times the statement was made: “your lawyer is certainly doing a good job in looking out for your interests”. Thank you so much – we’re so glad we found you.
