Arent Fox Partner Christian Scali will be speaking at the 2011 National Association of Dealer Counsel Fall Conference on a panel entitled “Arbitration and Class Waivers”. This panel will focus on the impact of the AT&T Mobility v. Concepcion Supreme Court decision and other case law developments which impact the use of pre-dispute arbitration clauses and class action waivers in agreements between dealers and consumers. Legislative and regulatory attempts to restrict or eliminate the use of such agreements with consumers will also be addressed. The panel will analyze various pros and cons associated with the use of arbitration clauses and class action waivers in the automotive industry and will also provide agreement drafting recommendations in light of recent legal developments.
