76th NYU Annual Conference on Labor & Employment Law: Challenges & Opportunities

JAMS is a proud Bronze level sponsor of the 76th NYU Annual Conference on Labor & Employment Law: Challenges & Opportunities taking place May 22-23. JAMS neutral Stephen P. Sonnenberg, Esq. will act as a Commentator on the panel discussion “Arbitration Developments and Skills Part I: Mass Arbitration” on May 23 at 2:40pm.

PANEL DESCRIPTION:

The Supreme Court’s decisions in Wall-Mart and Epic Systems have generated a spate of ‘copycat” claims testing the value to employers of class-action waiver clauses, and raising a need for greater coordination by arbitration providers of these factually-related claims. Some consideration may also be given to issue preclusion in arbitration.
