Testimonials

"Framework has been our outside counsel for our franchise businesses for 7 years. They’ve assisted us with a multitude of business issues both large and small, and are always quick to respond. If they don’t have the specialized expertise for the issue at hand, they have a network of attorneys they work with who do. Juliet takes the time to really listen and understand the matter before forming her recommendations. And when providing direction, it’s a conversation, weighing out pros and cons to consider, rather than a one-way directive. I have always felt like Juliet was part of our executive team and been extremely satisfied with the guidance she has provided over the years."

Traci S.
Current Client
"Working with Juliet over the past few years has taught me that as you become more successful and your business becomes more complex, all you really have to do is think things through, do what’s right and it will all work out. Juliet’s knowledge of small business law is incomparable. She has helped us with several very different matters and guided us with intelligence, tenacity and compassion. I cannot overstate the value of connectedness, and Juliet’s network of sources and experts (“oh, we should talk to so-and-so”) delivers benefits far beyond the words written in a contract and hours devoted to a resolution."

Richard S.
ARQ Wealth Advisors, LLC
"Selling a business doesn’t happen overnight. It took us four years, starting with our commitment to, in Juliet’s words, get our “house in order”. Juliet was a true advocate, previewing, listening, and counseling us through the journey week by week. She is steady, thorough and no-nonsense direct, which relates directly to her stewardship of your money. At one point when a counter offer didn’t take, we were so done, more than ready to accept a less than stellar offer. She talked us down and assured us that we could do better. And we did, just xxx later. She was clearly working in our best interest. Juliet is the rare attorney who has no ego. At one point, we brought in a friend who works in real estate law to provide additional expertise. Anyone else in Juliet’s position would have taken offense, and would have been territorial. But Juliet clearly enjoyed the collaborative process and the opportunity to exchange knowledge. Just as important as her legal process and approach, is the passion and joy – and humor -- she brings to her work."

"My experience with Framework surpasses that of the big corporate firms I’ve worked with during my 35 years as a business owner. It’s not just Juliet’s expert counsel that sets her apart. It’s also the fact that I can call her any time of the day and she either answers the phone herself or calls me back ASAP. That’s really terrific. She knows my anxiety level is likely through the roof and the value and comfort her immediate attention provides. She has taught me to pick my battles in situations that are adversarial and to step back to allow her to guide me through all the if/then scenarios. Knowing that she has a network of legal resources close at hand is a tremendous asset. If I had to pick one word to describe how I feel working with Juliet, it would be “safe”… there’s no question my issues are going to be resolved expediently after all avenues have been thoroughly explored. I trust her. You couldn’t ask for a better advocate."

Susan B.
Business Solutions for Women Business Owners
"Framework Legal has been fantastically flexible in supporting us as we've grown. As a small company, Juliet and her team were able to scale up and down the time they devoted to our work as we had sudden needs for work. They've also considered from day one what the long term impacts of new projects or documents would be on the company - something that I have rarely seen."

Turner B.
Current Client
"I had the pleasure of working with Juliet pre and post final sale of my business. Upon our first initial conversation we did a much deeper dive into due diligence and transaction details that I had experienced with other firms I had interviewed. Throughout the process we encountered, tough negotiations, poor communication from opposing counsel, uncomfortable questions and deal fatigue, Juliet was a step ahead through all these stepping stones of transaction. Ultimately, we ended up with the deal structure we had aimed for in the beginning, and I’m pleased to have worked with Juliet and I would recommend her to other business owners getting ready to take this step."

Jamie R.
Former Business Owner
"Juliet was such an asset during the process of selling my 2 franchises. She helped me along the way and wrapped everything up in a timely manner. She was always available and even contacted the franchisor when they tried to strong arm me and resolved the situation. Highly recommend."

Sandy F.
Seller of 2 Franchises

A Value-Driven,

Flexible Approach to Law

There is an advantage to hiring a lawyer that understands your business and you can grow with. At Framework Legal, we draw on experience working as in-house counsel and representing clients across multiple verticals to help you weigh business risks against legal risks and make the best strategic decisions for your business.
When you are preparing to sell your business, you need to work with people who have the experience that comes with selling a lot of businesses. A lot of transactions fail. One thing you can do to make sure your sale is successful is to have the right team in place. At Framework Legal, we have that experience and can connect you to the professionals you need to get a deal done.
If you want to make a successful exit from your business, you need to begin building the right team, systems, and processes today. At Framework Legal, we take a holistic approach to client representation. We help business owners at every stage of the business life cycle strategically prepare for an eventual exit.
Getting ready to sell your business is like getting your house in order. That means having your financials organized, cleaning up your profit and loss statement, reviewing all of your contracts, and looking at your management team to make sure the business can operate without you. When you work with Framework Legal, we can talk through how you can successfully prepare for your exit.

Who We Are

With decades of experience and a client-focused approach, Juliet and the team at Framework Legal are more than business lawyers. They are strategic partners in growth.

As your business continues to grow, there may come a time when the thought of selling your business - or making a strategic acquisition - becomes a real possibility. When the right opportunity does come, we will ensure all factors are lined up for a successful deal.

Create A Contract

Your business is built on a series of transactional relationships. Our team will conduct due diligence, draft contracts, negotiate terms of agreement, and help resolve any potential disputes that arise along the way.

Resolve A Dispute

For a growing business, nothing is more stressful - or downright frightening - than the possibility of litigation. At Framework Legal, we help our clients stay out of court by pursuing alternative forms of dispute resolution such as arbitration and mediation.
