Recently, I had the opportunity to participate as a panelist in a plenary discussion at the annual meeting of the American Bar Association's Forum on Franchising. Joining me on the virtual stage were two outside franchise lawyers (one transactional and one primarily a litigator), the general counsel of a privately held company primarily in the fitness industry, and the general counsel of a publicly held company primarily in the QSR business. The moderator challenged us to discuss what we thought had worked in franchising during the past seven months, what had not worked and what lessons we might learn going forward. It was a dynamic conversation, and I would like to spend a few minutes sharing with you some of the interesting concurrences and differences we had as a panel.
