Brule Law Firm is a national practice based in Cleveland, Ohio.  Brule Law Firm was established by Thomas Brule, an attorney with more than 30 years' experience in the practice of franchise and business law.  After serving as National Counsel and an executive officer for Kentucky Fried Chicken, Mr. Brule went on to build a private practice while becoming partner and serving as Chair of the Franchise Practice Group at two major Cleveland firms.  Mr. Brule established Brule Law Firm to provide his national expertise and large-firm level of service and expertise on a personal and individually tailored basis.


Franchising is a complex, highly regulated activity, and the practice of franchise law requires a level of expertise not possessed by every attorney.  Experience, judgment and training matter.  Whether you are considering the purchase of a franchise, or you want to expand your existing business through development of a franchise system, you need the assistance of an attorney who has not just studied the law, but has actively managed a nationwide franchise system and has used that knowledge to help others to develop and grow their own successful franchise systems.


Our services are not limited to franchising.  We have helped our clients to form and grow non-franchised businesses, we provide advice on the acquisition of commercial real estate, whether by purchase or lease, and we have achieved positive outcomes resolving disputes on behalf of our clients, whether in mediation, arbitration or before the state and federal trial and appellate courts.  Brule Law Firm provides key legal advice and guidance in all of the following matters, as well as other challenges and opportunities your business may encounter:​
