As Franchises Take Off, So Do LawsuitsThe National Law JournalAugust 13, 2007 Carmen D. Caruso was interviewed by The National Law Journal for an article, "As Franchises Take Off, So Do Lawsuits." According to the article, litigation between franchisors and franchisees is increasing as franchisors become more diligent about enforcing contracts and franchisees become more aggressive about protecting their rights. Mr. Caruso notes that he is seeing "a jump [in his practice] in disputes following a lull earlier in the decade. There was a lot of franchise litigation in the 1990s concerning franchisors allowing outlets to encroach on each other's turfs, but they tweaked contracts to stop the practice and litigation ebbed until now."
