										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Dawn thrives on being responsive to, and getting to know, her clients and their businesses so she can help them find the best and most practical business solution when faced with legal disputes. Her exceptional client service was recognized when she was awarded the 2024 Client Choice Award winner for franchise in Missouri, and she was also named Franchise Lawyer of the Year for Missouri for two consecutive years. </p>
<p>As Co-Group Leader of the UB Greensfelder’s Franchise &#038; Distribution Industry, Dawn heads a team of litigation and transactional attorneys who represent clients nationally and internationally, from start-ups to some of the largest and most recognized brands. Dawn’s practice focuses on all aspects of the franchise relationship, including termination and non-renewal, claims under state and federal relationship laws such as disclosure and fraud claims, and other claims that are common in these relationship disputes, such as breach of contract, fraud, tortious interference, deceptive trade practices, unlawful pricing, trademark infringement, unfair competition, violation of restrictive covenants, and indemnification claims.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Trent Johnson has concentrated on product distribution law since the beginning of his career at Foley and now devotes the vast majority of his practice to counseling manufacturers on many of the key facets of their resale relationships. Trent routinely advises his clients — from Fortune 100 companies to smaller private organizations — on issues involving channel structure (including multi-channel networks), drafting key contractual provisions, state and federal antitrust law compliance, contract administration and enforcement, e-commerce issues, distributor and dealer performance, negotiating relationship modifications (both individual and system-wide), transfers of control, product or territory withdrawals, product pricing, discount and rebate programs, product repurchase disputes, and other issues.</p>
<p>To the extent clients need to disengage entirely from a distributor, Trent has substantial experience litigating and trying distributor terminations (including &#8220;bet-the-network&#8221; terminations) in state and federal court and in arbitration. He focuses primarily on distribution and franchise litigation and counseling, which includes counseling on related antitrust issues. Trent also has substantial experience in general commercial and complex litigation.</p>
