Jeff Goldstein and the Goldstein Law Firm have a long track record of winning lawsuits against franchisors and manufacturers attempting to enforce noncompete agreements against franchisees and dealers. Regarding these successes, the Firm has always relied heavily on its ability to identify and highlight for courts and arbitrators the lack of legitimate business interests proffered by the franchisor allegedly supporting the CNC in dispute. Further, in some cases, the Goldstein Law Firm has succeeded on behalf of its clients by showing that the franchisor should be barred from enforcing a noncompete agreement because of prior wrongdoing by the franchisor during the term of the franchise or dealership relationship, before the franchisor’s attempt to enforce the CNC.
