OBA Franchise Law PROGRAM | 5:30 PM to 8:00 PM

Do you find certain aspects of Canadian franchise laws inconsistent or problematic when drafting a national franchise disclosure document or dealing with them in litigation? Join our stellar faculty for an interactive session regarding how best to address these challenges as well as potential areas for improvement in the law. Our panel, which includes counsel for franchisors, franchisees, and in-house counsel, will offer a diverse range of perspectives as they discuss the legislative changes they would, in an ideal world, like to see implemented.  While canvassing some of the “traps” that exist among the different jurisdictions, the panel will also share some of their own drafting and practice tips that offer solutions to the challenges that exist when drafting a national FDD or managing the lack of legislative clarity in the context of franchise litigation.

Don’t miss out on this unique and insightful program.
