Written specifically to help lawyers and non-lawyers brush up on Canadian franchise law, this practical guide outlines a host of important differences and similarities when comparing the business, law and practice of franchising in Canada and the United States. Giving you the information to recognize and respect the differences and take advantage of the similarities, it also includes practice notes throughout the book, highlighting key points and recommendations.
