On August 25, 2021, Tu Ngoc Trinh, a senior associate in Tilleke & Gibbins’ Hanoi office and a key member of the firm’s franchising practice, spoke about legal issues related to the franchising model at a webinar called Franchising 101: The Ultimate Guide to How to Buy and Sell Franchises in Asia.

Organized by VF Franchise Consulting and targeting new entrants to the franchising space, the webinar covered three general areas: (1) buying a franchise, (2) turning a business into a franchise, and (3) the legal framework for franchising.

Tu handled the third segment and advised online attendees on the differing perspectives of franchisors and franchisees; legal issues to be aware of in franchising activities; and the do’s and don’ts of franchising from a legal perspective, offering practical examples from Vietnam and other Asian countries.
