Paper Presentation
Franchise agreements are drafted for business — but tested in court. This session explores how to strengthen agreements in a post-NASAA SOP world without questionnaires or anti-reliance clauses and how disclosure and compliance claims are being litigated today. Attendees will gain practical strategies to anticipate risks, defend against evolving disclosure disputes, and protect their systems when conflicts reach the courtroom.
