Class action waivers in arbitration agreements remain enforceable, but a decade of U.S. Supreme Court decisions has reshaped how and when arbitrability gets decided. The plaintiffs' bar’s mass arbitration tactics continue to evolve, architecting large-scale claims with increasing monetary exposure for corporate defendants. The recent amendments to the AAA and JAMS mass arbitration rules pose additional strategic considerations.

In this program, Gerald L. Maatman, Jr. will cover the latest caselaw developments on arbitration, how mass arbitration campaigns are built and leveraged, and best practices for corporate defense strategy.

Agenda:

  • Key U.S. Supreme Court Rulings
  • Understanding The Mass Arbitration Process
  • Navigating The Rise Of Mass Arbitration
  • Mandatory Arbitration Clauses In Employment Agreements
