Book description
Disclosure laws aim to empower individuals to make better decisions, yet in practice they often overwhelm readers with excessive and inaccessible information. Disclosure Laws in the Digital Era explains why traditional regulatory approaches fall short and how technological advances offer new opportunities to evaluate and improve disclosure quality. Through a comprehensive study of the U.S. franchise disclosure regime, Uri Benoliel demonstrates how AI and big data standards can assess whether disclosures genuinely help prospective franchisees understand key risks. Benoliel proposes a forward-looking framework that integrates technology into disclosure design, offering more reliable and scalable methods for regulatory oversight. Combining doctrinal analysis, empirical insights, and policy recommendations, the book offers valuable insights for scholars of disclosure, franchising, consumer protection, and contract law, as well as for policymakers, regulators, and legal practitioners seeking to strengthen transparency and informed decision-making in the digital era.
