So, not only am I to moderate a roundtable on Monday, October 30th about Franchising and Environmental and Social Governance (ESG), but I am chairing a plenary session about “Franchising in Europe – navigating in disrupted times” on Tuesday, October 31st.

This is a great group effort, with my colleagues from around the world: Kim Vanthoor, Dagmar Waldzus, Tao Xu and Nino Andonovic.

Because of this exceptionnal location, at the Palais des Congrès, which is 5 minutes away from the firm, my firm will host a breakfast on the morning of Tuesday, October 31st. Look out for the invites!

This year, the IBA makes its Annual Conference in Paris.

As we formerly reported in different articles, this law made no legal sense, confusing franchisor and franchisees as one big employer when they hit together 300 employees, offering the possibility for their employees as a community to be united in a “social dialogue” union. It was that bad.

It had only been in effect less than a year (since May 4^th 2017), and to our knowledge never applied anyway.

All is now back to normal: France is still the number 1 franchise market in Europe, and number 3 in the World !

The last paper I co-authored in franchising and arbitration was : “ANATOMY OF A FRANCHISE DISPUTE: LESSONS FOR TRANSACTIONAL LAWYERS DRAFTING FRANCHISING AGREEMENTS”.

It was published in The International Journal of Franchise Law (IJFL) with the IBA’s Arbitration Committee and the International Franchising Committee. Volume 14 – Issue 5 – November 2016. © Claerhout Publishing Ltd.

1) “Franchising in the Civil Law countries in Europe”

This first will be co-hosting a roundtable on “#franchising in the Civil Law countries in #Europe”.

It’s a co-production of the IFA Legal Symposium and IFA/IBA Joint Conference, a new and not to be missed 3 hour International Franchising Basics Track intensive program in the afternoon on Tuesday May 8, 2018. It’s intended to bridge the annual IFA Legal Symposium and annual IFA/IBA Joint Conference on International Franchising that immediately follows.

2) “Enforcing Judicial Decisions & Arbitrations” 

“Enforcing Judicial Decisions & Arbitrations” will be the other one, on Wednesday 9th, a workshop with the International Franchising Committee of the IBA.

Workshop topic: Having success in litigation or #arbitration is only half the battle in achieving your goals and securing a remedy. The other half is being able to successfully enforce your award or order, and/or being able to collect monies owing.

This workshop will consider those issues in the context of #international #franchising.

We’ll be writing a #paper with some great colleagues. I’ll let you know!
