This session will walk through the most common drafting mistakes that render employment arbitration agreements unenforceable — and how to avoid them. Drawing on California and federal case law including Armendariz v. Foundation Health Psychcare Services, Mendoza v. Trans Valley Transport, and Epic Systems Corp. v. Lewis, it will cover critical issues such as delegation clauses, signature requirements, unconscionability, class action waivers, and the interplay between the FAA and California Arbitration Act. Attorneys will leave with a practical checklist for drafting agreements that are clear, fair, and built to hold up in court.
