Discover how a skilled franchise attorney transforms from legal advisor to strategic growth partner in this illuminating conversation with Stuti Murarka of Cheng Cohen. Having practiced law on two continents and passed the bar exam twice, Stuti brings a unique global perspective to franchise law that has helped single-unit operations evolve into multi-million dollar empires.

The conversation reveals the fascinating journey of a lawyer who never initially planned a legal career but now thrives at the intersection of business strategy and legal compliance. Stuti candidly shares how her mother's unrealized dream of becoming an attorney inspired her path, leading to a career that spans from arguing before India's Supreme Court to facilitating complex international franchise expansions.

What makes this discussion particularly valuable is Stuti's insight into the evolution of an attorney's mindset - from focusing purely on legal compliance to becoming a solution-oriented business partner. "Lawyers are often the reason deals don't happen because we're the naysayers," she explains. Her approach? Rather than simply identifying what clients cannot do, she presents multiple pathways to achieve business objectives while navigating legal constraints.

Franchise law emerges as a uniquely complex and rewarding specialty, requiring mastery of federal regulations, state-specific statutes, and international legal frameworks. Stuti's expertise in bridging cultural differences, particularly between Western and Asian business practices, illuminates how legal professionals can add exceptional value in global business expansion.
