This year new laws, recent decisions and additional pending legislation are targeting and could severely impact the future of franchising. Our panel will discuss how these new laws, decisions and pending legislation will impact franchising, and whether current and prospective franchisors can successfully work around the potential roadblocks to the franchise business model.

MCLE Credit

To meet MCLE regulators’ attendance verification requirements for sponsors, you will be required to:

• Answer poll questions that appear on screen during the program;
• Review your screen mode. Do not use full-screen mode to view or respond to poll questions; and
• Use a supported browser which includes Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge, Mozilla Firefox, and Safari (Mac).

MCLE credit approval is pending. Credit generally is submitted, or certificates issued, within 30 days of the course or post-program approval. CLE approval can take up to 90 days.

Kilpatrick Townsend & Stockton LLP will apply for CLE credit when eligible in Georgia, California, Colorado, New York, North Carolina, Texas, Virginia, and Washington. For states not listed, a Certificate of Attendance that lawyers may use to claim credit based on reciprocity or self-apply for credit will be provided.

To receive on-demand credit, viewers must use one of the recommended browsers which allows time stamps to be captured. We recommend you complete the program in one format only (live or on-demand) since many states do not allow attorneys to earn live and on-demand credit for the same program in the same compliance period. Virtual participation or on-demand credit is not eligible in PA.
