Securities Fraud Attorney Blog
An employment arbitration award worth $4.1 billion was confirmed this week by the Los Angeles County Superior Court. The arbitration was heard before JAMS and the defendants included iFreedom Communications International Holdings, Limited, and its founder, Timothy Ringgenberg.
This is one of the most significant employment awards ever rendered in arbitration. We have no information regarding the potential collection of said award.
For FINRA registered representatives in the securities industry, employment arbitration is mandatory. Many other industries are including pre-dispute arbitration clauses in their employment agreements as well. We expect to see a surge in employment arbitrations filed in the U.S. due to the declining economy.
