DESCRIPTION

Practising franchise law in Canada presents special challenges to Ontario lawyers. Ontario is often only one of the many jurisdictions in which the franchise system operates and in many cases is not the home jurisdiction of the franchisor. This program will feature in-depth analyses from experienced counsel covering a wide-range of issues which Ontario business and litigation lawyers are confronted with when practising in the global franchising industry. The program will also highlight issues relating to professional responsibility and liability which arise given foreign law considerations which form an integral part of the franchising lawyer's practice.
