Foley & Lardner will be a sponsor at the 5th Annual Latino Franchise Association, to be held at the international headquarters of Yum! Brands on May 22, 2019. The Latino Franchise Symposium was created to gather together those who are interested in the Franchise business for the Hispanic Markets of the U.S and Latin America. According to its organizers, this segment is growing at a fast pace, and yet many don’t know everything that needs to be known; all that is known is that the possibilities for growth are large, with many sub segments yet to discover and even more unexplored niches. Several Foley attorneys will lead roundtable discussions concerning various legal aspects of franchising during the all-day session.
