Schultz, everyone there knew, was to defend his multi-million dollar client against charges of unfairly revoking the license of one Raymond Dayan, owner and operator of McDonald's franchises in Paris. Five hundred million dollars in damages was at stake. So was the entire French fast food market--one of the fastest-growing and most profitable such markets in the world.
