Our luncheon mini-series is designed for in-house counsel and human resources executives. The programs will be held one day a month, and will cover topics of current interest, with substantial significance to a wide range of employers, both regional and national.
Wage and hour class and collective-action lawsuits remain one of the greatest litigation threats employers face. However, a recent string of Supreme Court decisions concerning the enforceability of class/collective-action waivers under the Federal Arbitration Act, and a bevy of lower court cases applying those decisions to arbitration agreements in the employment context, provide employers with a potential mechanism to insulate themselves from class and collective-action lawsuit exposure. To that end, this session will cover:
- Recent Supreme Court and lower court decisions upholding the enforceability of arbitration programs with class and collective-action waivers
- The continuing obstacles confronting employers who wish to roll out mandatory arbitration programs with class and collective-action waivers
- Practical issues employers should consider when deciding whether to implement a mandatory arbitration program with a class and collective-action waiver
Please register early, as space is limited.
