The American Bar Association Section of Antitrust Law has recently published the 2nd edition of its Franchise and Dealership Termination Handbook (see: ABA – Franchise and Dealership Termination Handbook).
From the ABA:
“The Franchise and Dealership Termination Handbook provides practical guidance for lawyers as they counsel their clients and navigate the difficult issues that often arise when a franchise or dealership ends. Termination is often the last thing parties consider when they first enter into a franchise or dealership relationship, but it is a critical event for all parties involved, and can give rise to significant duties and liabilities. A thorough understanding of the contractual relationship between the parties, and the common law and statutory landscape of franchise and dealership termination, is critical to protecting the rights and interests of all involved.
The Antitrust Law Section of the American Bar Association recently announced the publication of Antitrust Law Developments (Seventh). Antitrust Law Developments is the seminal general U.S. text on antitrust law, a landmark of scholarship and reflects the collective efforts of many leading antitrust law practitioners and scholars.
From the American Bar Association:
“Antitrust Law Developments (Seventh) is the seminal comprehensive review of federal antitrust law, with reports on current case law and administrative and legislative developments current through 2011.
This 2-volume set updates you on key decisions in the courts, and developments at the enforcement agencies, keeping you current in every area of antitrust practice. Each edition of Antitrust Law Developments is designed to improve upon, as well as update, prior editions, and to ensure consistency with everchanging developments in this dynamic area of law.
This new seventh edition addresses important developments, including the Supreme Court’s decisions in Twombly, Leegin, American Needle, linkLine, and Weyerhaeuser and their treatment in the lower courts. Developments in the courts of appeals relating to bundled discounts and the antitrust-intellectual property interface all receive comprehensive treatment. The chapter on mergers and acquisitions has been substantially revised to reflect the new DOJ/FTC Horizontal Merger Guidelines and new foreign merger control regimes, and the discussion of the misuse doctrine in the chapter on intellectual property has been reorganized and revised.
Antitrust Law Developments (Seventh) is the product of an enormous team effort of Antitrust Section members and is a “must have” for every antitrust practitioner.
