This unique format gives you practical answers to the most frequently raised questions in antitrust, franchising and distribution law. Designed as a deskbook, it also acts as a reference treatise. Organized by how questions arise in business and law, chapter titles and subheadings are in the form of questions, and are followed by succinct, authoritative answers. Extensive footnotes provide expanded discussions for further research, with citations and cross-references to authority.
Whether you are an antitrust lawyer, general practitioner, house counsel or involved in a trade association, this reference will guide you in fielding questions from clients, as well as serve as a reliable reference in conducting transactions and managing disputes.
