The seminar will feature a discussion of the weakening economy and it's effects on many franchises, ranging from restaurants to convenience stores to staffing services who are now seeking bankruptcy protection. The Bankruptcy Code addresses how franchise agreements are treated in bankruptcy; however, the Code does not resolve all of the unique issues that arise for franchisors and franchisees. It is critical that franchise counsel develop strategies to anticipate and protect against the fallout from bankruptcy.

This teleconference will highlight key legal issues that arise during a franchisor or franchisee bankruptcy. The program will also offer best practices for creating a franchise agreement in order to protect their respective interests and maximize their recovery under the Bankruptcy Code.

The webinar will focus on the newly revised FTC Franchise Rules, which require that all franchisors provide for certain disclosures to prospective franchisees. Under the new rules, a franchisor is now required to file basic information about the franchisor, the franchised business, and the franchise agreement. Mr. Siegelheim and Mr. Kvitka will review the recent trends in franchise law, and will discuss the impact of the new law on the preparation of disclosure documents, franchise agreements, and state registrations.
