A Toolkit that provides state-specific resources for private employers and their counsel to navigate litigation and arbitration of employment-related claims. While arbitration is often considered a more efficient alternative to court proceedings, a variety of state and local laws can impact the enforceability of arbitration agreements. This Toolkit offers a curated collection of checklists, charts, and other state-specific materials to assist in defending against employment-related lawsuits and drafting enforceable arbitration agreements that comply with applicable laws. For additional jurisdiction-neutral resources, see Related Toolkits.
