Aspen Publishers Offers Practical Guide on Employment Arbitration Agreements

New York, NY – Aspen Publishers now offers a comprehensive, practical source for professionals to stay fully apprised of ever-changing laws and critical issues affecting employment arbitration. With Employment Arbitration Agreements: A Practical Guide, employers, HR executives and legal practitioners can be confident that their employment arbitration agreements are valid and enforceable in all states and existing arbitration agreements are current and compliant before any issues arise. Aspen Publishers is part of the Wolters Kluwer Law & Business group, a leading provider of research products and software solutions in key specialty areas for legal and business professionals (www.aspenpublishers.com).

For many employers, class actions are a major concern, with the potential to escalate issues and damages. Written by the attorneys of Littler Mendelson, P.C., Employment Arbitration Agreements provides the proper guidance with in-depth analysis of class arbitrations and arbitral class action waiver clauses.

“Different states also have different rules for how contracts are formed and enforced. With respect to the implementation of arbitration agreements, it is not necessarily true that ‘one size fits all,’” said Chris Carr, Aspen Publishers product manager. “Employment Arbitration Agreements keeps professionals covered by providing a single source that lets them compare – and stay in compliance with – requirements on a state-by-state basis.”

Employment Arbitration Agreements helps professionals implement enforceable arbitration agreements in all 50 states; draft agreements that are less likely to be litigated; keep current employment arbitration agreements in full compliance; and successfully manage employment disputes.

Employment Arbitration Agreements includes:

* Fifty-state surveys to help ensure that all rules, regulations and standards are being met;
* Sample agreements to save time and reduce the risk of litigation;
* Reliable tips on modifying current agreements to help ensure complete compliance;
* Extensive coverage of class actions to help manage risk and minimize costly disputes;
* Insights into the best in-house dispute resolution procedures to ensure professionals act with confidence when disputes arise; and more.

“These one-of-a-kind features are helpful to professionals not only in developing an ADR program that will be legally compliant in multiple states, but also in implementing agreements across different jurisdictions,” said Carr.
