In July 2009, Who's Who Legal in London named our firm as one of the global leaders in franchise law in its publication The International Who’s Who of Franchise Lawyers 2009. We are especially pleased that six of our partners are included in the 2009 edition. The editors commented that:
The world’s most developed marketplace, the United States, is home to nearly half of the lawyers selected for this publication.
Several firms can claim to being global leaders in this sector.
Lee Plave left DLA Piper to set up Plave Koch PLC in 2007, and the firm has 6 lawyers in this edition. Plave himself is one of the most highly regarded individuals overall, recommended by all who come into contact with him and able to advise clients on all facets of franchise law. David Koch is similarly revered and is known throughout the US, following his tenure as attorney adviser to the chairman of the Federal Trade Commission. John Tifford also has a background at the FTC – he was the first coordinator of its franchise rule – while Mark Kirsch shares Plave’s background at DLA Piper and is “one of the finest in the field.” Leslie Curran is recognized for her top-tier transactional work while James Rubinger is a “learned and experienced litigator” who was particularly commended for post-merger disputes.
