Epic Systems Corp. v. Lewis: The U.S. Supreme Court’s Approval of Class Action Waivers and What It Means for Employers Everywhere

June 5, 2018

In Epic Systems Corp. v. Lewis, the United States Supreme Court held that employers may require employees to sign arbitration agreements which include a class action waiver.

In this webinar, you will learn the relatively recent history of the debate over these class action waivers, the rationale for the Supreme Court’s decision, and what it means for your business moving forward.

Long Saga of Colorado AI Act Appears to Have Come to Close With Revised Law

Ever since its initial passage into law in 2024, the Colorado AI Act has been a lightning rod for controversy and calls for change. Over the ensuing two years, multiple attempts to amend the law were floated and proposed by consumer and industry groups. The implementation of the law itself was delayed several times to allow for such changes, with Governor Jared Polis calling a special session of the legislature last August to specifically address potential changes. All of those attempts appear to have culminated in Senate Bill 189 having passed both the Colorado House (57-6) and Senate (34-1) this week. The bill next heads to the desk of Governor Jared Polis where it is expected to be signed into law and to take effect as of January of 2027.
