- Strong experience and familiarity with franchising and distribution transactional and regulatory matters.
- Demonstrated understanding of what factors constitute a franchise and experience with franchise agreements.
- Experience defending clients against claims of franchise status based on knowledge of franchise law.
- Membership to the ABA Forum on Franchising and participation in prior Forum on Franchising meetings is preferred.
- Availability to work a part-time and variable amount of hours a week. Candidates must have flexibility to potentially increase hours or decrease hours as needed.
- Strong ability to support and stay connected with a remote, distributed team.
- High-level of responsiveness and client service abilities.
- Strong verbal, written, and interpersonal communication skills.
- Excellent writing skills, strong attention to detail, and ability to produce high quality work product with minimal supervision and direction.
