Basics in Franchising and the Slippery Slope to Fraud Claims

DALLAS, Texas — Engage Workspace for Lawyers and Klemchuk PLLC are cosponsoring a "Lunch and Learn" presentation on September 25, 2025 at Engage’s coworking space.

Franchising offers incredible opportunities for business growth, but it also carries strict compliance obligations that can easily be overlooked. This program will walk attendees through the fundamentals of franchise law, including the FTC Franchise Rule, the Franchise Disclosure Document (FDD), and key disclosure deadlines. It will also cover the risks of making financial performance claims, how state laws interact with federal requirements, and the real-world consequences of failing to meet these standards. Attendees will gain a practical understanding of how small compliance missteps can lead to big problems—ranging from fraud claims to fines and contract rescission—and how to avoid those pitfalls.
