This Law Firm Publication by Jackson Lewis, P.C. discusses a recent amendment to the Nevada state law governing the enforcement of arbitration agreements (Nev. Rev. Stat. § 597.995(1), (2) (2013)). Under the new law, all agreements containing an arbitration clause, except for collective bargaining agreements, must include a specific authorization indicating that the person has affirmatively agreed to the provision, and any arbitration clause that fails to include an authorization is void and unenforceable. The Federal Arbitration Act (FAA) arguably preempts this law, and it is unclear whether courts would apply it retroactively. However, employers should consider modifying their agreements to comply with the law.
