For over 20 years, Dennis Leone has represented clients in state and federal courts and other legal proceedings throughout the U.S. and counseled them on the development and implementation of effective business practices, pre-litigation strategies and enforceable contracts.

His practice focuses primarily on franchise and licensing matters, as well as the enforcement of non-competition, non-solicitation, anti-piracy and other restrictive covenants. With significant experience involving the protection, security, privacy, unauthorized access and theft of electronic data and information, contract law, and shareholder, partner, and member disputes, Dennis’s background also provides him with substantial experience in the lodging, restaurant, hospitality and construction industries.

Helping clients achieve their business goals is one of the many reasons Dennis enjoys being a lawyer.
