Franchising has been around for some 40 years, but it's still a relatively new area of law–and it's going through some growing pains. This article and teleconference will focus on one important aspect of franchise law and how it's changing: the legal relationship between franchisors and franchisees. It's a crucial aspect of the franchise arrangement, but there is growing discussion about just what the relationship should be. Traditionally, franchisors have exercised strong control over the operations of their franchisees, but there are some experts who say franchisees should have more independence in their dealings with the parent companies. This may become an important area of franchise law where significant changes could occur in the next few years.
