DESCRIPTION

Franchise Law is a highly specialized area of practice and it is important that lawyers handling franchise files understand the essential contractual and statutory rights and obligations of the parties in a franchisor-franchisee relationship. Hone your ability to not only recognize and responsibly address issues that may arise in the course of that relationship, but also the potential for liability that can arise between lawyer and client and how to avoid common errors and omissions. Through the analysis of leading cases, and a discussion of the latest trends and developments, experienced franchise counsel will give you a solid understanding of the basic principles of franchise law.
