Ben and Jerry’s franchisees, who were not part of the boycott decision, “were thrown under the bus” by the corporate office and “have suffered substantial financial loss,” says Adv. Arsen Ostrovsky, CEO, International Legal Forum.

“My heart goes out to them.,” says Adv. Arsen Ostrovsky, CEO, International Legal Forum, explaining the repercussions of the boycott decision. “Many have been shamed, as if they’re part of this decision.
“At the end of the day, they’re there to sell ice cream, not to engage in politics.”
