Featured news Terminating a franchise agreement: beware of employment issues
It often happens that a franchised business is operated at a specific location under licence from the franchisor. When the agreement is terminated or its duration expires, the franchisor might appoint a new franchisee to conduct the same franchised business at the same location.
