Description

Canadian franchisors are required to provide disclosure documents that are accurate and current as of the date of disclosure—a legal obligation that presents ongoing operational challenges. Unlike in the U.S., where annual updates are the norm, Canadian franchisors must continuously monitor and update disclosure documents throughout the year.

This session will provide practical guidance on how to meet these requirements, with insights from both legal experts and franchisor teams who manage this responsibility day to day. The discussion will cover recent legal and market developments that may trigger updates, internal systems to streamline communication and information flow, and effective strategies for maintaining compliance across departments.

You’ll walk away with actionable strategies to ensure your disclosure remains accurate, up to date, and defensible—whether you're issuing it once a year or every week.

 

Learning Objectives:

1. Identify the most common sections of a disclosure document that require regular updates and how timing requirements apply.

2. Learn practical strategies for internal coordination to ensure timely information-sharing across departments.

3. Understand how legal and market developments—including recent case law and economic shifts—may impact your disclosure obligations.
