Joint employer status can often affect liability claims when they are being litigated. The legal experts at the National Law Review covers the changing litigation surrounding the joint-employer standard coming out of the NLRB.  Further, international law, or companies which operate in multiple-states, or are multinational companies, are affected by franchise law in the United States, and international laws which are also binding on those companies. Different trade agreements, contract terms, and negotiations, are also going to affect the manner in which franchises are handled, when cases are being litigated, or when terms are being decided upon between companies/organizations. 

Other areas of law can also interact with how franchise law is litigated or settled. In immigration cases, where agencies are targeting a specific franchise, immigration laws may apply when determining a case’s outcome. Depending on the size of the franchise, and whether it’s bylaws and incorporating documents have different clauses or international provisions, are also areas which can greatly impact how certain cases will be litigated. Choice of forum clauses, choice of law clauses, and various other contractual obligations, terms, and implications, can greatly impact the area of franchise law for many organizations.
