Nova Science Publishers Inc Remote Gambling: Trends, Policies & Federal Law
Book SynopsisGambling, once widely outlawed, is now a regulated, taxed activity that is legal in some form - bingo, card games, slot machines, state-run lotteries, casinos -- in all but two states. State governments have the main responsibility for overseeing gambling, but Congress historically has played a significant role in shaping the industry. Since passage of the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act in 2006, congressional focus has moved to remote gambling. Remote gambling refers to gambling that does not occur in a casino, bingo hall, or store selling lottery tickets. Remote gambling includes gambling over the Internet as well as gambling using devices that may communicate by other means, such as by telephone or direct satellite links. This book explores the rise of remote gaming and its potential implications for the broader gambling industry, including traditional and tribal gaming.

Edward Elgar Publishing Ltd The Law and Regulation of Franchising in the EU
Book SynopsisMark Abell's book argues that the European franchising market fails to reach its potential as it remains unregulated. He supports this by analysing the historical legal and economic basics and risk/attraction profiles of franchising to franchisors and franchisee, compares the European situation to the highly developed regulatory regimes in the USA and Australia, and moves through to proposing and drafting a new EU directive to bring greater certainty and stability to cross border franchising in the EU. Comprehensively researched and very detailed, this book is a worthy contribution to the literature on the subject.'- Graham Cunningham, Barrister, HardwickeKey features of this detailed and insightful work include:- Practical analysis from a leading authority in the field of franchising.- Examination of the impact of both franchise specific and general commercial law upon use of franchising in the EU.- Comparative legal analysis of the law of England, Germany, France, the US and Australia.- Carefully constructed proposals for a franchise directive in the EU based on the vast experience of the author.- A draft text for the proposed directive.The Law and Regulation of Franchising in the EU provides an in-depth analysis of the regulatory environment for franchising in the EU. Franchising in the EU comprises nearly 10,000 franchised brands and over 215 billion (US$300 billion) turnover per annum. However, compared to its scale in the US and Australia, franchising is not realising its full potential in the EU and the author points to the lack of homogeneity across members states as a large part of the problem.The book concludes by arguing for the adoption of a draft directive, and proposes a draft directive, which promotes market confidence in franchising, provides pre-contractual hygiene and imposes a mandatory taxonomy of rights and obligations.This highly topical and comprehensive work will appeal to franchise lawyers and franchise academics as this is the first book that analyses the impact of EU and member state law upon the use of franchising in the EU.Contents: 1.

Globe Law and Business Ltd Educational Institutions: A Legal and Regulatory
Book SynopsisWith growing numbers of independent schools (pre-school, primary and secondary), vocational colleges and universities seeking to establish themselves internationally, this new text focuses on the complex legal and regulatory requirements of setting up an educational institution overseas. As these institutions expand into the global arena – where there is a preference for adopting the UK model, supported by government contracts and foreign investment – traditional advisers to the independent education market increasingly need to understand the multi-disciplinary aspects of setting up abroad. Therefore, this book will make essential reading for all lawyers, accountants and school governing bodies involved with international expansion. Private equity investors, who need to understand the due diligence process specific to this sector and the structuring of their partnerships with potential ‘sister schools’, plus commercial property and real estate consultants involved in the actual building of overseas institutions, will also find this book invaluable. The content examines market viability, the challenges of managing an international educational business, business plans, sustaining relationships, IP issues, data protection, international employment matters, tax considerations, brand protection and corporate structure. There is also a detailed country-by-country comparative analysis which is intended to inform the decision as to where to set up an educational establishment overseas. The text is further enhanced by numerous case studies. In summary, this comprehensive handbook will provide a trusted guide for legal and business markets to the risk profiling, structural analysis and regulatory compliance issues that face all educational organisations seeking to establish themselves internationally.Trade ReviewThis book is an invaluable tool for any educational establishment considering expanding internationally. Having gone through the experience myself I can confirm that the book covers a wide range of legal and commercial issues that need to be taken into account by any educational institution as it plans and executes its international strategy. This is a timely and sage publication from the UK’s leading experts on the international expansion of schools and other educational institutions. It is an essential part of a tool kit as an institution looks to expansion overseas. -- Shaun FentonTable of ContentsPreface 7 Mark Abell Bird & Bird Section A The market viability of English-medium K-12 international schools 9 Richard Gaskell Diane Glass ISC Research Challenges of managing an educational business and building infrastructure 15 Mark Abell Bird & Bird Edoardo Monopoli Baseline Launching an international growth strategy 21 Mark Abell Bird & Bird IP issues 27 Mark Holah Bird & Bird Data protection issues 37 James Mullock Bird & Bird Employment issues 47 Pattie Walsh Stephanie Wong Bird & Bird Transnational education 67 John Shaw Cushman & Wakefield Stephanie Terreni Brown Clean Water Wave; Cushman & Wakefield Tax issues 75 David Field Grant Thornton UK LLP Structural options – an overview of the international growth of schools and universities 99 Mark Abell Bird & Bird Section B Brazil 113 Luiz Henrique O do Amaral Luciana Bassani Dannemann Siemsen Advogados China 125 Sven-Michael Werner Bird & Bird Hong Kong 135 Hank Leung Pattie Walsh Bird & Bird India 151 Nipun Gupta Bird & Bird Divya Sharma DBS Law Indonesia 161 Sherroy Ong Bhredipta C Socarana Risti Wulansari K&K Advocates Japan 179 Mark Abell Bird & Bird Hitomi Iwase Hideki Katagiri Daisuke Morimoto Nishimura & Asahi Korea 187 Han Ah Lee Hwang Mok Park Malaysia 195 Mei Quin Chen Lin Li Lee May Fenn Lim Joe Yee Yap Tay & Partners Mexico 215 Shelley Nadler Bird & Bird Silverio Sandate Von Wobeser y Sierra Nigeria 221 Nick Green Bird & Bird Osayi Ogbeta Inam Wilson Templars Singapore 227 Ling Yee Neo Lorraine Tay Bird & Bird ATMD Thailand 243 Nick Green Bird & Bird Anake Rattanajitbanjong Supasit Saypan Chinachart Vatanasuchart Tilleke & Gibbins International Ltd United Arab Emirates 257 Melissa Murray Bird & Bird United States 265 Madeleine G Kvalheim Patricia B McMurray Christopher G Morris John M Scannapieco Baker Donelson Vietnam 279 Shelley Nadler Bird & Bird Waewpen Piemwichai Tilleke & Gibbins About the authors 287

Emerald Publishing Limited Australian Franchising Code of Conduct: A
Book SynopsisThe Franchising Code of Conduct (the Code) is a mandatory obligation for all systems operating in Australia, and takes a comprehensive approach to disclosure, relationship laws and dispute issues. Expert author and leading practitioner Peter Buberis takes a critical view of this regulatory framework, evaluating the threads that make up the Code that directs the franchising industry in Australia. Including chapters on the areas of disclosure, good faith, and intellectual property, Buberis takes a comprehensive approach in exploring the Code's development through its consideration and enforcement by the Regulator and the courts. Looking at recent case law, the chapters indicate continuing points of concern about the Code, and give cognisance to a recent Parliamentary review which may enhance its operation if adopted. For professionals in the franchising industry, and anyone looking to understand more about the Code that governs Australia's franchises, this is a comprehensive guide that engages and analyses this key piece of legislature.Table of ContentsChapter 1. The Franchising Code of Practice Chapter 2. Disclosure Document Chapter 3. Good Faith Chapter 4. Intellectual Property Chapter 5. The Sale and Termination of a Franchised Business

Globe Law and Business Ltd International Franchising: A Practitioner's Guide
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
