This program, taught by Regina M. Robson, a shareholder of Robson & Robson, P.C., will cover the key business and legal factors to be considered when counseling clients on whether to create a business “from scratch” or to utilize a “ready to go” option such as a franchise. Specifically, the seminar will consider the suitability of the franchise model in comparison to buying an existing business or creating an entirely new business.

Participants will also explore the common legal issues in franchise agreements, the impact of federal and state statutes, and review legal remedies available to franchisees.

Learning Objectives:

1. Discuss the risks and benefits of utilizing ready-to-go models
2. Review common legal and business issues in franchising agreements
3. Assess the legal remedies available if disputes arise
