myHRcounsel is the #1 solution in HR/Employment Services for franchise owners. We provide critically important legally backed answers to HR/Employment and Compliance Questions from experienced employment attorneys, in all 50 states, through an encrypted online portal and mobile app (so you can take us on the go and access us on your schedule).

As leaders in our industry, myHRcounsel is the only HR/Employment Services company that provides actual legal advice. While other human resource companies continue to fall short and put your franchise at risk with disclaimers like “this is not legal advice and should not be relied upon”, myHRcounsel’s advice is legal and protected by attorney-client privilege which means it is non-discoverable in the event of a lawsuit (one of the first places opposing counsel goes in a lawsuit).

What franchise owners like best about myHRcounsel is that they get unlimited access to employment attorneys for an affordable, fixed monthly subscription which has never been available before in the industry. And even better, IFA members receive exclusive pricing as a privilege of their membership.
