Franchising in Asia 2015 : Legal and Business Considerations (Paperback)

Franchising in Asia 2015: Legal and Business Considerations, published by LexNoir Foundation, provides an overview of the franchise industry in Asia and addresses the typical legal issues confronted when expanding a franchise system overseas, and particularly in Asia. It highlights issues encountered when drafting international franchise agreements and also covers those local laws governing franchising in 15 jurisdictions- Bangladesh, China, India, Indonesia, Japan, Kazakhstan, Malaysia, Nepal, Philippines, South Korea, Taiwan, Tajikistan, Thailand, and Vietnam as well as Hong Kong.

Several of the chapters are devoted to a particular country. In those chapters, an author, who is a legal expert in the designated jurisdiction, addresses the basic questions that a franchise lawyer would need to know to competently represent a client in expanding its franchise system to that country. Many of the responses provided are more broadly applicable to other types of cross-border agreements and transactions.

This is the first edition of the 300-page book and reflects the work of more than 25 experts in the field. It is also the second in a series of books on international franchising published by LexNoir Foundation. The first book in the series was Franchising in Africa: Legal and Business Considerations.
