Rupert M. Barkoff, a partner at Kilpatrick Stockton, writes: A frustrated client recently asked me how to deal with a franchisee whose performance was questionable, for whatever reasons, but where franchise termination would be overkill. Two items seem to be the key factors in deciding what approach will be appropriate: the nature of the breach, and the character of the franchisee." </font></p>

Faley and Anna J. Ervolina<br/><br/>"Kevin G. Faley, a partner at Morris Duffy Alonso & Faley, and Anna J. Ervolina, a senior associate at the firm, write that an insurance company's decision to deny coverage to its insured is not generally favored by the courts. However two recent decisions from the Second Department signify a change in the willingness to validate an denial of coverage. In each case, the insurance company successfully enforced a carefully worded exclusion contained in its policy which left contractors without insurance for a construction accident."</font></p>

Bennett and Cecilia R. Dickson<br/><br/>"Steven C. Bennett, a partner at Jones Day, and Cecilia R. Dickson, an associate at the firm, write that electronic discovery concerns need not present insurmountable problems for companies that foster mobile computing so long as certain unique issues are addressed head-on. Ineffective policies, with no recognition of the mobile computing environment, may exacerbate the difficulty and cost of satisfying e-discovery obligations."
