Description
Franchising thrives in Europe, but laws and practices differ from other parts of the world, and within the region.

The panel will discuss key practical issues involved in registration/disclosure law requirements; letters of intent and payment in the pre-contractual phase; terms of the franchise agreement; employment issues; competition laws; parties’ rights and obligations; and any other questions the audience wishes to debate.
