Book SynopsisFranchising has become a global phenomenon. Many brands have grown beyond their national markets and proved that this business expansion model can work around the world. Meanwhile, in comparison to growth on a national scale, it is clear that cross-border franchising involves additional divergent business models and requires solutions to different issues in order to succeed. This major title, published in partnership with the International Bar Association, is a concise, practical guide for all those involved in planning and operating an international franchise programme, from in-house counsel to managing directors to those in private practice. The book is divided in two parts: the first part provides general information on preparing for international franchising and the second part applies know-how and industry experience to the most popular franchise industries such as hospitality, internet and technology, services and retail. The lack of a harmonised franchise regime or dispute resolution system across the major jurisdictions means that this is not a simple exercise from a legal perspective. In addition, many jurisdictions require specific pre-contractual disclosure and/or registration. In addition to classic legal questions, efficient tax planning is required to secure success. In parallel, the book reviews questions on data protection and intercultural communication during a franchise partnership as well as financing possibilities from various national perspectives. Uniquely, this title applies and reflects general practical and technical franchising know-how to specific franchised industries and highlights typical sector-by-sector questions and solutions in an international franchise context.Table of ContentsAbout the International Bar Association 5 Preface 7 Harald Lichter Ideenbroker GmbH Introduction 9 Marco Hero TIGGES Rechtsanwälte Part I: General international topics The definition of ‘franchising’ 11 Rocío Belda de Mergelina Garrigues Selecting a format for international franchising 27 Carl E Zwisler Gray Plant Mooty Franchising legislation – a global overview 59 Katharina Wurm TIGGES Rechtsanwälte International dispute resolution 81 Dan Engström Stockholm Arbitration & Litigation Center (SALC) Advokatbyrå KB Franchising and the Internet 95 Robin Bynoe Charles Russell LLP Lee Plave Plave Koch PLC Data protection – the European perspective 117 Christoph Wildhaber Streichenberg Rechtsanwälte Data protection – the North American perspective 129 Tao Xu DLA Piper LLP (US) Tax issues – the European perspective 133 Guido Holler TIGGES Rechtsanwälte Tax issues – the US perspective 149 Bruce S Schaeffer Franchise Valuations Ltd The importance of cultural differences in international franchising 163 Souichirou Kozuka Gakushuin University Albrecht Schulz TIGGES Rechtsanwälte Part II: Franchising industry reports Restaurants 175 Riley Lagesen Davis Wright Tremaine LLP Fashion 291 Igor San Juan Evelyn Verstraaten G-Star International BV Elder and child care 205 Jeffrey A Brimer Faegre & Benson LLP Grocery retail – the European perspective 217 André Lombart CMS DeBacker Grocery retail – the US perspective 225 Erik B Wulff DLA Piper LLP (US) Hotels 227 Karen Boring Satterlee Hilton Worldwide Frank Zaid Osler, Hoskin & Harcourt LLP Health, beauty and fitness 261 Lukas Bühlmann Bühlmann Rechtsanwälte Stéphane Teasdale Fraser Milner Casgrain LLP Internet and technology franchises 271 John H Pratt Hamilton Pratt John Vernon The Vernon Law Group, PLLC Cleaning and maintenance 287 Anders Fernlund Advokatfirman Nova AB Jacqueline W Vlaming Coverall North America, Inc The pet industry 295 Günter Erdmann SCHLARMANNvonGEYSO Part III: Financing in international franchising Financing – the UK perspective 307 Brian Duckett The Franchising Centre Financing – the German perspective 317 Jörg T Eckhold Eckhold & Klinger Unternehmensberatung GmbH (BDU) Financing – the US perspective 339 Robert Shaw Edwards Global Services, Inc Part IV: Appendices Appendix 1: Franchise associations 353 Appendix 2: Disclosure laws 363 Appendix 3: Relationship laws 366 About the authors 369
