About Spadea Lignana
Spadea Lignana is an elite franchise law firm with decades of experience serving hundreds of franchisor clients nationwide. The firm’s primary focus is providing real-world solutions with constant consideration for a return on investment for each legal dollar spent. The firm takes a long-term approach with its legal advice, trying to help clients build a franchise system that will create generational wealth for their owners.
Most of the attorneys have worked directly in franchising as executives of national brands and some as franchisees themselves. This omnichannel vision and unique perspective enables the firm to provide grounded, practical and relevant legal advice. Spadea Lignana has pioneered unlimited legal work via flat monthly pricing for franchisors instead of hourly billing. This “CORE” program takes care of most of the transactional legal needs of being a franchisor such as updating their FDD, state registrations, franchise & multi-unit agreements and much more. The firm also developed CAP, a unique proprietary software giving clients an accurate, timely, and transparent view of their FDD and State Registrations.
