Getting up to speed on franchise law

Steinberg PC; Brian Witus of Jaffe Raitt; and Gary Remer of Maddin Hauser. “While the franchise industry continues to grow, it faces important changes and challenges on the labor and employment front that could greatly impact franchisors, franchisees and franchise systems,” said Derek McLeod, chairperson of the Antitrust, Franchising, & Trade Regulation Section. He said the speakers addressed “timely and relevant matters that will help franchisors and franchisees navigate the issues currently under debate in the state legislatures, in the courts and in the public arena.”
