Haynes and Boone LLP has reinforced its West Coast litigation division by welcoming Elizabeth Weldon, a seasoned franchise expert from Snell & Wilmer LLP, as a partner in its Orange County office.
Weldon, with a remarkable 21-year tenure at Snell & Wilmer, boasts a specialization in franchise and distribution law. However, her legal repertoire extends to handling diverse facets of commercial and business litigation. Her expertise encompasses areas such as breach of contract, tort, unfair competition, class action, and intellectual property disputes.
In a recent interview, Weldon revealed that her journey to Haynes Boone was set in motion by a call from Deb Coldwell, a franchise litigation partner at Haynes Boone in Dallas. The two legal luminaries share a long-standing connection, having collaborated through the American Bar Association’s Forum on Franchising. Coldwell formerly chaired this forum, a role now undertaken by Weldon.
Weldon expressed her admiration for Haynes Boone’s robust franchise and distribution practice, which spans both litigation and regulatory domains. Her first impressions of the firm were overwhelmingly positive, including a warm reception from colleagues and staff.
