Well, the future is here. By the year 2000, retail analysts predict that over fifty percent of all retail sales will be made from a franchised outlet. Franchising permeates every aspect of modern American life.
Most people are familiar with fast food franchises.
But consumers buy from franchised locations everyday. The franchise community is well entrenched in this State. As a result, a number of attorneys have had to become familiar with the intricacies of federal and state franchise law. The CBA Business Law Subsection on Franchise Law was created earlier this year with the intention of providing a resource for attorneys practicing in the area of franchise law. The Subsection meets quarterly, and the members of the Subsection take turns hosting the group at their respective offices.
