April 13 Dallas, TX | September 28 Minneapolis, MN October 18 Los Angeles, CA November 2 Atlanta , GA |
We are proud to offer our 2007 Legal Roundtable Series focusing on the implications of the long-awaited New FTC Franchise Rule. FTC Franchise Rule Director, Steve Toporoff, will join us in several cities including Dallas, Washington, DC, Los Angeles, and Atlanta to provide further insight into the new Rule and how it will affect the way you do business.
For more than 12 years, the Federal Trade Commission has been contemplating an overhaul of its Franchise Rule. As of the end of January 2007, the FTC finalized numerous revisions to the Franchise Rule. Franchisors must begin complying with the new Franchise Rule no later than July 1, 2008, but may voluntarily comply beginning July 1, 2007. Franchisors may not comply with various parts of the new Franchise Rule on a piecemeal basis, but rather, must transition over to the new Franchise Rule in full at some time during the transition period between July 1, 2007 and July 1, 2008. The new Franchise Rule represents a significant improvement, with many useful changes, over the much outdated prior rule, and will help streamline legal compliance for franchisors generally. Top legal experts will conduct an interactive Roundtable discussion, with many opportunities for questions and answers, which will cover a wide range of timely topics. We will also provide an overview of Franchise Sales Compliance issues during these full one-day sessions. Join us in one or more of the cities listed above.
