Franchise Law Is Very Complex: Understand Your Rights
An intricate web of laws, statutes, industry customs, standards, and decided cases regulates the franchise industry. For California specifically, a franchise attorney needs to be familiar with the Federal Trade Commission’s Franchise Rule, the California Franchise Investment Law (CFIL), the California Franchise Relations Act (CFRA), the California Code of Regulations, the North American Securities Administrators Association’s Franchise Registration and Disclosure Guidelines, as well as at least a dozen representative published cases. To even understand your issue, and be able to evaluate your case, a franchise attorney must have a strong grasp of disclosure requirements, including the 23 required items in a Franchise Disclosure Document.
