Internicola Law Firm is on a Mission to Help Franchisors Scale and Achieve Success

Maybe you’re an entrepreneur and think your business is perfect for franchising. Or perhaps you own an established franchise brand and you’re ready to scale. Making big moves in franchising means setting up franchise disclosure documents (FDDs), creating franchise agreements, establishing a franchise system structure, navigating federal and state franchise laws, and so much more.

Thankfully, that’s where the team at The Internicola Law Firm comes in. For more than a decade, they’ve been working with a singular focus: Helping entrepreneurs transform businesses into thriving franchise systems. Today, the firm represents more than 350 franchise brands across all 50 states.

All that hard work hasn’t gone unnoticed. Internicola Law Firm ranks #1 among legal service firms on Entrepreneur‘s 2025 Top Franchise Suppliers list. For six straight years, the firm has ranked in the top 5 in legal services—one of the most competitive categories on the list.

“From emerging franchisors making their first sale to established systems scaling nationally with private equity backing, we’ve had the privilege of helping brands grow from concept to regional and national scale,” says Melissa Castoro, Director of Brand Development at Internicola Law Firm. “Our portfolio reflects every stage of franchising: startups, growth brands, and international systems.”

To create this year’s list, we conducted our annual survey of franchisors, pulling from more than 1,100 responses. From emerging franchisors to well-established brands, respondents identified which suppliers they work with and then rated their satisfaction with them in areas of quality, cost, and value. Each supplier received a score based on the survey results and was ranked within their respective categories.

More than 180 suppliers are ranked on this year’s list across 13 different categories. This year, Internicola Law Firm received positive ratings from 125 different franchise brands.

Bridging the gap between legal structure and growth strategy

One of Internicola Law Firm’s most powerful differentiators is its proprietary compliance platform, FranIQ®. Built to give franchisors real-time clarity, FranIQ® tracks registrations, FDD issuance, and deal document turnaround. In addition to building dedicated transactional, compliance, and advisory teams to support franchise brands, this year the firm enhanced FranIQ® with live dashboards and automated tracking features. The result: franchisors stay a step ahead — with deal flow, registrations, and compliance status always at their fingertips.

The firm’s innovation doesn’t stop at compliance. Through its collaborative FranCamp® Series, Internicola has established national growth conferences that unite franchisors, advisors, and industry leaders around the key drivers of franchise expansion. Complementing these live events, Internicola has developed internal learning management systems that elevate its own team’s expertise and deliver clients supplemental franchise sales training resources and tools.

Internicola’s integrated model — combining legal precision, compliance systems, and growth alignment — has made it one of the most trusted partners for franchisors nationwide. “Our combination of legal precision, systemized compliance, and growth alignment has given franchisors at every stage the confidence to scale with clarity,” Castoro says.

From FDD development and franchise registrations to compliance tracking and national growth platforms, Internicola Law Firm is reshaping what it means to be a franchise law firm. Its #1 ranking in Entrepreneur’s 2025 Top Franchise Suppliers list underscores what clients already know: the firm is committed to helping entrepreneurs not only launch their franchise systems but scale them into winning brands.
