Represented a Wisconsin Manufacturer in the Lawsuit Resulting in the First Comprehensive Analysis by the Connecticut Supreme Court of the Connecticut Franchise Statute

We represented Wisconsin-based Allen-Bradley, a division of Rockwell International, in a lawsuit filed by a distributor claiming their relationship constituted a franchise under the Connecticut Franchise Act. Following a three week trial, the court ruled that the relationship did satisfy the requirements of the statute. The Connecticut Supreme Court accepted direct review of the appeal, and in a lengthy decision, affirmed the trial court. This is the leading case by the Connecticut Supreme Court interpreting the Connecticut Franchise Act.
