New Franchise Rules in Mexico

Franchising is big business in the United States, and it’s also growing fast in the United Mexican States.  The Mexican government has just promulgated a new law which provides new  requirements for franchise contracts, including requirements for termination only for cause and provisions preventing franchisors from objecting to franchisee changes of control.   Michael E. Santa Maria and Kevin E. Maher of Baltimore’s DLA Piper Rudnick Gray Cary provide a rundown of the new changes from the perspective of U.S. franchisors.
