Profile

Entrepreneur-inspired franchise and distribution counsel 

Dan Janssen represents clients that sell products to customers through franchises, dealerships, and distribution and other sales channels. He is an ideal representative of franchise clients, as he himself is highly entrepreneurial, having built the firm’s franchise law practice from the ground up. Dan focuses on:

  • Franchise and distribution counseling
  • Franchise and distribution litigation
  • Complex commercial litigation

Dan’s primary goal is to help clients avoid problems before they arise, through sound business planning and distribution channel management. But he is always prepared to solve problems and, when litigation becomes necessary, he fights to win. He also looks, while litigating, for opportunities to show his clients how to avoid future disputes. Dan loves playing a role, large or small, in building strong businesses, and he takes great satisfaction in seeing clients develop and maintain healthy operations that feed families and create jobs.
