Episode 4. Success Story - Harold L. Kestenbaum, Esq. Joining Spadea Lignana - Franchise Attorneys - a podcast by Jeremy E. Poock, Esq.

In this episode, Franchise Attorneys, Harold Kestenbaum, Tom Spadea, and Josh Lignana discuss Kestenbaum merging his Melville, NY based Franchise Law practice into Philadelphia based Spadea Lignana in April 2019 (www.spadealaw.com). Kestenbaum began practicing Franchise Law in 1977 and opened his own Franchise Law practice when New York passed its state franchise law in 1981. Spadea and Lignana, lifetime friends, started Spadea Lignana in 2011, following Spadea’s decision to go to Temple University Law School for the sole purpose of becoming a Franchise Attorney. Following Spadea asking Kestenbaum at a franchise trade show in January 2019 to consider Spadea Lignana for a future merger possibility, Senior Attorney Match facilitated negotiations that resulted in their merger in late April 2019. Now, a Top 5 Franchise Law firm nationwide, Spadea Lignana combines Kestenbaum’s 40+ year career of incubating and representing thousands of franchisors with Spadea Lignana’s reputation of assisting franchisors to strategically grow their brands. Spadea Lignana has its sights upon becoming the No. 1 Franchise Law firm nationwide. As Spadea states: “We are helping small franchisors build generational wealth.” For Kestenbaum, the merger has resulted in Kestenbaum “doing more of what I like to do.” Dubbed by Spadea and Lignana as the “Terminator,” Kestenbaum continues focusing on business development and assisting emerging brands bring their franchise dreams and ambitions to reality. Reflecting upon the addition of Kestenbaum to Spadea Lignana, Spadea says, “It’s phenomenal.”
