About the International Franchise Association’s Legal Symposium
IFA’s Legal Symposium is designed by a task force of member volunteers with a particular emphasis on how legal and regulatory issues affect the everyday business operations of the franchise system. The program provides value and real-world solutions to both business executives and their franchise legal partners. Sessions focus on the practical use of the law, and the how-to’s for navigating today’s business and regulatory environment. The Legal Symposium is a training ground for what business executives and legal counsel need to know, and how to put it into practice.
