In this last term, the United States Supreme Court issued several important decisions regarding arbitration. Government agencies have also issued new interpretations that will affect the enforceability of key provisions of arbitration policies. These developments likely will have a significant impact on the way you write arbitration policies, as well as on the enforcement of arbitration provisions in the employment context. Although the Supreme Court maintains its pro-arbitration stance, parties opposing arbitration and some courts continue to look for ways to impede enforcement of arbitration policies. This poses a challenge to employers who wish to implement and enforce fair arbitration policies.
This webinar will explain the current state of arbitration in the employment context, and the impact of recent developments on your organization. Additionally, we will provide you with practical strategies in formulating effective and fair arbitration policies.
The program will be presented by the same Littler lawyers who successfully argued two of the Supreme Court's arbitration decisions issued this term. Dallas Shareholder Rob Friedman, who argued Rent-A-Center, West, Inc. v. Jackson, 561 U.S. __ (June 21, 2010), and Walnut Creek Shareholder Henry Lederman, who was instrumental in developing the pleadings and strategy in Rent-A-Center, and San Francisco Shareholder Garry Mathiason, who argued Granite Rock Company v. IBT et al, 561 U. S. ____(June 24, 2010), will present the program.
We hope you can join us for this complimentary program.
