Webinar Recording: The Future of Arbitration - Part 3: Unique Arbitration Issues in California
Please join us for a three-part series in which we analyze the future of arbitration in light of new federal legislation, the ever-changing landscape in California, and the increasing prevalence of mass arbitration. This series will offer pragmatic guidance for employers with arbitration programs or those considering implementing such programs. See below for more detailed information on Part 3: Unique Arbitration Issues in California.
About the Program
When it comes to employment laws, California is frustratingly different than every other state. This is certainly true when it comes to employment arbitration agreements as well. Both the legislature and the courts have continued their efforts to undermine arbitration agreements in the employment context, which has required employers to remain vigilant on the constantly changing legal landscape in California when it comes to drafting and enforcing arbitration agreements. This webinar will discuss:
- Whether mandatory arbitration agreements are enforceable or permissible;
- Strategies to avoid waiving the right to arbitrate by not timely paying arbitration fees; and
- The increasing challenges to electronic signatures to arbitration agreements.
