Choosing the right mediator for your client's franchise dispute is key to a win-win resolution! As one of few women mediators, I have over 30 years of franchise legal expertise representing franchisors and franchisees in multiple states.  I am the best mediator choice for your franchise clients! 

Specializing in Virtual Mediations and In-Person Live Mediations on a national level with proven success, I have both the confidence and credibility you seek in selecting the right mediator.  I have mediated franchise agreement disputes involving a myriad of legal issues including breach of system standards, payment default, fraud in the inducement, enforceability of non-compete covenants, claims for lost future royalties and liquidated damages, fraudulent financial performance representations, claims for rescission and restitution and bankruptcy issues. 

Employing a collaborative style, and drawing upon my vast years of franchise legal experience, I can bridge the gap between the franchisor and franchisee driving them to a win-win settlement of the disputes. Calling upon my experience in representing both franchisors and franchisees in private practice and my years as Chief Franchise Counsel and General Counsel with national franchise companies in various franchise industries, I will objectively evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of the parties' legal and business positions.  I will be instrumental in developing and presenting viable resolutions to help the parties meet half way and avoid prolonged litigation.  

Pre-litigation mediation with a seasoned mediator will resolve disputes early before expensive protracted litigation or arbitration is undertaken. Early alternative dispute resolution can save time, money, emotional toil for both parties in the franchise relationship. It can salvage the franchise relationship and strengthen the overall franchise system. If mediation occurs after a legal proceeding is filed, mediation will mitigate the costs of litigation or arbitration by finding an amicable solution and settlement before the litigation extends for months or years.

Whether it is pre-litigation or during a pending lawsuit, mediation with Adele can be the means to an expedient, respectable and cost-effective end to the franchise dispute.
