“Working with Goldstein Legal has been fantastic. From my first meeting with Roz, everything ran smoothly – no hiccups. The team listened to our plans and provided the legal advice we needed. Goldstein Legal know franchising inside out!” – Franchisor 

“Goldstein Legal was the second practice I approached about reviewing a franchisee contract, the first practice I rang which were recommended made me feel very intimidated and were not approachable. This made me very nervous to approach somebody else but it had to be done. I rang Goldstein and spoke to Catrina she was brilliant, I straight away felt at ease and she was really helpful. She used language I understood and from then everything was done fluently and quickly.”  – Franchisee

“The Goldstein legal team were very efficient and friendly. Highly recommended.” – Franchisee
