Acknowledgments

As the editor of this second edition of the Franchise Law Compliance Manual, I

would like to recognize the numerous individuals who contributed to both the

first and second editions of the Manual. Without their efforts, neither edition of

the Manual would have been possible. First, let me recognize Steven M. Goldman

and Bret Lowell, who served as editors for the first edition of the Manual. They

set the bar high and produced one of the most widely used publications in the

Forum’s history. The following persons served as authors of the second edition of

the Manual, some of whom also served as authors for the first edition (as noted

by the asterisk following their names):

Chapter 1: William A. Finkelstein* and Sherin Sakr

Chapter 2: Leslie D. Curran, Mark B. Forseth,* and Karen Spencer

Chapter 3: Brian H. Cole, John M. Richardson, Andra J. Terrell, and

Sandra J. Wall

Chapter 4: Victoria Blackwell and Andrew C. Selden*

Chapter 5: James A. Goniea and Jeffery S. Haff

Chapter 6: Kevin P. Hein and Ted P. Pearce

Chapter 7: Robert A. Lauer and Alison C. McElroy

I would also like to recognize Jamila B. Granger, who was our liaison to the

Publications Committee of the Forum, and Andrew Scott and Deborah Coleman,

who served as Publications Officers of the Forum while this book was being writ-

ten. Each of them helped keep us on task and provided valuable insight and

advice in connection with the development of the chapters. Of course, this book

would have never happened without the hard work of Sarah Orwig and Denise

Eichhorn and the rest of the ABA Publications Staff and Kelly Rodenberg, the

Director of the Forum on Franchising.

I would also like to personally thank Mike Maciszewski and Brian Schnall,

associates with Faegre & Benson, LLP, and Carrie Hale, my assistant at Faegre &

Benson, who provided significant help in connection with proofreading, citation

checking, and assistance with all of the other minute details that were necessary

to publish this book. Finally, I would like to thank the Franchise and Distribution

Group at Faegre & Benson, who provided encouragement and guidance through-

out the process of developing and editing the Manual.
