Fieldfisher's Franchising team is proud to once again be listed in Who's Who Legal for Franchising

Since 1996, Who's Who Legal has identified the foremost legal practitioners in franchise law, based upon comprehensive, independent survey work with both general counsel and private practice lawyers worldwide. 

WWL: Franchise 2022 has listed 4 of our team in London, and 2 of our team in Spain as leading practitioners in franchising law. This combined ranking confirms Fieldfisher's position as leading international franchise practice. 

The ranked individuals are:

• David Bond;
• Gordon Drakes, who is recognised as a "Global Elite Thought Leader";
• Vicky Reinhardt;
• Andrew Dodd;
• Miguel Mejías; and
• Jordi Ruiz de Villa.

Client testimonials refer to David Bond's “ability to simplify complex franchise matters” combined with his “calm, relaxed demeanor” and state that Gordon Drakes is “highly recommended for his incredibly specialised repertoire in franchising law” and that the “phenomenal” Jordi Ruiz de Villa possesses “a deep knowledge of franchise law that allows him to garner a quick understanding of novel situations, and ultimately forge winning solutions”. 

Reflecting on this year's endorsements, Gordon Drakes, co-head of the franchise team, said: "We are very grateful to our clients and peers in private practice who have again given us a glowing reference for our work and expertise in the area of international franchising".
