Traps, Tactics, and Trends: Advanced Arbitration Strategies Under FAA and CAA
In the ever-shifting landscape of employment arbitration, California attorneys must navigate the tension between the Federal Arbitration Act (FAA) and the California Arbitration Act (CAA)—a dynamic intersection where federal supremacy collides with state-driven worker protections balanced with employer interests. This CLE will unpack the latest trends, landmark decisions, and emerging strategies impacting the enforceability of arbitration agreements and arbitration awards. Attendees will gain critical insight into how courts are responding to challenges over arbitrability to vacatur. Whether drafting agreements, enforcing awards, or defending against vacatur motions, employment practitioners will leave equipped to thrive in this complex and increasingly contested space.
