LESA is pleased to introduce the faculty of our upcoming webinar, Franchise Terminations & Rescissions: What You Don’t Know Can Hurt You!
Lawyers representing franchisors or franchisees throughout the franchise lifecycle face potential risks of errors and omissions if they fail to advise their clients about their legal rights and responsibilities under the Franchises Act. In this webinar, solicitors and litigators will deepen their understanding of key statutory requirements and common contractual terms relating to key requirements of the franchise disclosure document, franchise renewals, and more.
