June 28, 2023 @ 12:00 pm 1:00 pm

Special low price! 1 Hour MCLE

Arbitrators are often required to rule on whether a party who is a non-signatory to a contractual arbitration provision can be compelled to arbitrate or can compel a party who is a signatory to arbitrate. This area can be tricky for arbitrators and can even lead to vacatur of awards if arbitrators exceed their powers by exerting jurisdiction over non-signatories. The webinar will discuss recent federal and CA cases and point out where arbitrators need to be wary.
