Many view the franchise business model strictly in legal and regulatory terms, focusing on disclosure, limiting liability, and exercising control over franchisees. However, franchising is fundamentally a business model, not just a legal structure. To build a sustainable, consistent, and replicable business, franchisors need to balance legal considerations with business elements when making key decisions. Quality legal counsel is essential in franchising, but there must be equilibrium between business interests and legal risks. This course, led by Michael Seid and Andrew Seid (Managing Director and Senior Consultant, respectively, from MSA Worldwide) and Noah Leszcz (Partner at Cassels Brock & Blackwell LLP), will discuss key areas in franchising where maintaining this balance is most crucial.

This is a two part webinar. The webinar will take part on both days.
