Franchising specialist joins specialist IP & intangible assets firm
Virtuoso Legal is strengthening its offering with the appointment of international franchising expert John Burchill as a consultant practitioner. John joins Virtuoso Legal but still retains his own practice having previously held senior positions at The Body Shop and Domino's.
John says: “I am delighted to be joining Virtuoso Legal. The firm's approach, which combines sound legal advice with sensible and insightful business consultancy, matches perfectly with my own ethos on the delivery of legal services. My experience on both sides of the franchising relationship enables me to provide clients with a rounded and highly informed service to clients and I am very much looking forward to working with the Virtuoso Legal team.”
Elizabeth Ward, principal at Virtuoso Legal, says: “John’s knowledge of franchising is second to none, and his expertise will provide a valuable additional layer of knowledge which will complement our existing offer. His experience operating in international jurisdictions is particularly valuable, as many of our clients trade in and experience legal issues which fall outside of the English legal system. There is no doubt John will be a valuable addition to our skill set.”
