There is good news for franchisors who are having tax issues. Franchise law is very complex, so it’s good to speak to a knowledgeable lawyer like Joseph Adler.

You can reach out to this BC family lawyer if you have questions. Use…

Are you wondering if it is legal to be fired the same day you put in your two weeks’ notice?

When you have a job offer, and you…
