Show Notes

Today I am going to continue the "Covid Crisis" conversation with Mike Drumm, a franchise lawyer and friend.  Mike and I will discuss some of the immediate legal implications that this moment in time is having on our businesses and our lives and we will look ahead to the extent that we can, on what franchisors need to consider, as pertains to everything from FDD renewals, to functioning in your business.  Drumm has built his legal practice, which consists of 24 professionals, on a virtual office model and has some inciteful tips to share about how to operate your business remotely.  This could have some very powerful and pertinent implications for us, as we now into our second week of "social separation."   

Before founding Drumm Law, Mike wore a suit and tie every day and worked at a large, national law firm.  What he is most proud of today, is being the father of three young kids and hearing the following statement, when people meet him for the first time, "you really don’t remind me of a lawyer.”

Mike is continually recognized as a Franchise Times magazine Legal Eagle, an 1851 Franchise Legal Player and is a designated CFE.  He is also an accomplished, serial entrepreneur and the founder of a start-up entrepreneurial venture of his own, Party O’ Clock, a revolutionary DJ company, for weddings and other personal and business catered events.  Like many, Mike's Party O'Clock business, is on hold for now too.
