Franchising

Visitors to the National Law Review searching for the latest laws, legislation, and litigation surrounding franchising law, you can find up-to-date stories in the United States and internationally. Issues regarding substantial association with franchise and trademarks, unfair terms legislation, franchise taxes, or healthcare franchising, are among the many stories and news which is covered for visitors by the National Law Review.

Joint employer status can often affect liability claims when they are being litigated. The legal experts at the National Law Review cover the changing litigation surrounding the joint-employer standard coming out of the NLRB.  Further, international law, or companies that operate in multiple states, or are multinational companies, are affected by franchise law in the United States, and international laws that 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 that 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.

The National Law Review providers visitors with the latest news, stories, and litigation that is taking place in the area of franchise law. From the FTC’s Franchise Rule to learning about new franchises being opened, to contract terms being litigated, visitors will always find the latest details, and information, on the National Law Review.
