Collateral Issues in Franchising

In addition to counseling their clients on disclosure, registration and other basic franchising concepts, franchise attorneys must handle a wide variety of collateral, but essential, areas of law on a daily basis. These can range from Internet communications to advertising programs to supply chain issues. In this book, each chapter addresses a particular category of concerns and offers insightful analysis of important aspects of the franchisor-franchisee relationship. Topics include social media, search-engine optimization and other Internet concerns; franchise sales relationships; third-party financing; the franchisor's corporate and business structure and intellectual property; real-estate issues such as zoning, permits, building code compliance, signs, environmental issues and due diligence, and real estate financing; regulation of advertising and telemarketing; and supply chain management and logistics; among others.
