Stéphane Teasdale’s article titled “The Importance of Due Diligence in International Transactions” has been published in the December 2017 edition of Franchising World.
Writes Stéphane: “Legal due diligence is an important as financial due diligence. Companies engaging in acquisitions outside their own jurisdiction should dedicate the appropriate resources and engage local counsel to assist them throughout this process.”
The article goes on to discuss form reviews, executed agreement review and FDD receipts, franchisee files, and other necessary reviews.
