Publisher's Synopsis
Representing Franchisees is a reference for lawyers advising and representing the thousands of people and companies who buy franchises every year. A lawyer may become involved at any of many stages: reviewing the federally mandated Franchise Disclosure Document before purchase; negotiating franchise agreement terms; advising on general business and legal issues; negotiating renewals or amendments; resolving disputes in mediation, litigation, or arbitration; dealing with termination or nonrenewal issues; representing franchisee associations; and collaborating with franchisors. This book covers all these topics and provides information and suggestions about how to handle the myriad issues facing franchisee counsel.
