Meet Robert Zarco
Miami, FL commercial litigation attorney Robert Zarco talks about his background & experience and the philosophy that guides his work. He shares that with an extensive background in business, including starting a landscape business at the age of seven, he developed a strong understanding of financial matters from an early age. Growing up, visits to various franchise locations, such as McDonald’s, Burger King, and Taco Bell, sparked an interest in owning a franchise and building wealth. Upon becoming a lawyer, he recognized the challenges faced by franchisees nationwide, particularly the pressures and conflicts imposed by franchisors.
He realized that many franchisees lacked access to the court system and could not afford legal representation. Motivated to level the playing field, he committed to representing franchisees on a contingency fee basis, ensuring they could exercise their legal rights without bearing prohibitive costs. This dedication led to the establishment of his law firm.
When advising clients entering business relationships, he emphasizes the importance of thorough due diligence. This includes researching the business, consulting individuals who have prior experience with the entity, and, in the franchise context, speaking with existing franchisees. He stresses the value of the Franchise Disclosure Document (FDD), which provides critical insights into the performance and history of current franchisees. Additionally, he recommends hiring a specialist attorney in the relevant industry rather than a general practitioner, ensuring comprehensive guidance in both due diligence and overall business strategy.
