Whether you are a franchisor, franchisee, or their counsel, Franchising Law: Practice and Forms (the three volumes are subtitled The Franchisor; The Franchisee/Source Materials; and Forms) is an essential resource containing practical advice about the business of franchising. It includes discussions of the explosive new field of international franchising, including information on taking your franchise to 13 foreign countries. It also includes information on the impact of the Internet and e-commerce on the way the franchise business operates.

The Franchisor presents all the requirements you must meet, outlines your responsibilities, and explains how your interests may best be represented by legal counsel. The Franchisee/Source Materials provides essential regulatory information, such as the directory of franchise regulators, and the Federal Trade Commission rule relating to disclosure requirements, and the Uniform Franchise Offering Circular (UFOC) Guidelines with a commentary by the North American Securities Administrators Association.

The Forms volume contains all the questionnaires, agreements, leases, registration filing applications, sample letters, and forms necessary to the offering, purchase, sale and control of franchises.

The authors, all members of the American Bar Association's Forum on Franchising, provide an easy-to-follow, accessible reference resource on how to maximize the benefits of franchising, while minimizing potentially devastating disputes, liabilities, and costs.
