The Franchising Global Guide provides country-specific Q&A guides on local and international franchising. Each Q&A guide gives a structured overview of the key practical issues, including: current market activity; franchising regulatory framework; contractual issues relating to franchising agreements (analysing pre-contact disclosure requirements, formalities, parties' rights and obligations, fees and payments, term of agreement and renewal, termination and choice of law and jurisdiction); Operations Manual; liability issues; intellectual property; real estate; competition law; employment issues; dispute resolution; exchange control and withholding; and proposals for reform.
Written by leading lawyers in their countries, contributors are ideally placed to provide clear, concise and practical commentary on the inner workings of their respective legal systems.
