I'm also a recognized Franchise Times Legal Eagle, a Certified Specialist in Franchise and Distribution Law, and a former Chair of the California Lawyers Association's Franchise Law Committee. My legal journey started at UCLA Law with a specialization in Business Law and Policy.

Hi, I'm Nancy Lanard, and I've dedicated over 25 years of my life to the fascinating world of franchising.
