Franchisor Best Practices

As states continue to reopen their economies, franchisors and franchisees are eager to regain business and reconnect with customers. But for many franchised systems, business as usual has changed. During this pandemic, franchising as we know it also has changed in several important respects.

Changes to the business (whether driven by public health and state orders or new operational and financial realities) impact franchisor support, franchisees and their employees, brand customers, unit level economics and other aspects of the franchise system. These business changes will have important legal implications and create legal challenges.

During this Franchisor Best Practices webinar, the Faegre Drinker franchise team will focus on how franchisors should effectively address and navigate these legal and brand issues through collaborative leadership, clear guidelines, best practices and smart communications. The next three to six months will be crucial with a myriad of legal issues arising. What franchisors do now will matter.
