Additional Information |
Franchising Depositions is the only work available that focuses on strategy, law, and forms for taking or defending depositions in the context of franchise relationships. The work discusses the background of franchising and how the dynamics of relationships in franchising impact depositions of franchisor-franchisee disputes. It provides suggestions and strategy for preparing and conducting depositions, whether as the examining or defending attorney. Franchising Depositions also contains forms (actual depositions conducted by the author and others) to help you prepare your own examination outlines, to prepare your witness to be deposed and to plan strategy for defense. The text is extensively footnoted with discussion and references to the substantive law of franchising. With chapters on depositions in cases of franchise agreement enforcement, rescission and damages, termination and non-renewal claims, claims between competing franchisors and depositions of expert witnesses, the book is useful to lawyers in any type of franchising dispute. It is a gateway of information for practitioners who are new to franchising disputes, and is also valuable for experienced practitioners. For a sample of the contents, opening pages and forms see the previews above.

“Mr. Gurnick’s Franchising
Depositions is designed for those attorneys who may be
experienced lawyers but are unfamiliar with franchise law, and those lawyers
who may or may not have knowledge of franchise law, but are far less
experienced than the masters in the art of deposing. He has created a useful
work which will supplement the existing literature on franchise litigation.”
