FoodTruckr School - How to Start, Run and Grow a Successful Food Truck Business

FS016- An Education in Food Truck Law with Patrice Perkins of Creative Genius Law


Listen Later

In this episode of FoodTruckr school, we’re happy to welcome Patrice Perkins, a Chicago-based attorney who blogs at Creative Genius Society and also Creative Genius Law.

Patrice gives us the low-down on all things legal when it comes to your food truck. Although law isn’t a topic food truck owners typically love to discuss (primarily because it’s the law in different cities that makes it difficult to operate a truck sometimes!), Patrice drops incredible knowledge bombs about things we should all be paying attention to.

Here are some of the questions addressed in today’s episode:

  • What can food truck owners do to support positive legal changes in their own cities?
  • What are the most common laws that aspiring food truck owners should keep in mind?
  • What are the most common mistakes food truck owners make legally? (Hint: most food truck owners aren’t doing what they should!)
  • Where can one find affordable legal services and help? (Including free legal help!)
  • What should one do when action is taken on them legally?
  • Hopefully you won’t ever need to worry about that last question, but it’s important that you know what to do just in case.
