The Legal Trust Fund may support actions that address unilateral or harmful changes imposed by the franchisor that affect franchisees’ operations or profitability—especially when such changes are not included in existing Franchise Disclosure Documents (FDDs).
Examples may include:
- Challenges to new, modified, or increased fees
- Disputes over mandated hours, tools, or curriculum
- Enforcement of franchise agreement terms
- Efforts to clarify or revise future FDD requirements
