Lauren Teukolsky Speaks at Bridgeport Conference on Emerging Private Attorney General Act Issues

On March 15, 2019, Lauren Teukolsky spoke at a Bridgeport Continuing Education conference on the latest trends in litigation under the Private Attorneys General Act (PAGA).  Ms. Teukolsky was featured on a panel discussing settlement and arbitration issues.  With the prevalence of arbitration agreements and class action waivers, PAGA has emerged as one of the only vehicles for employees to bring collective actions on behalf of a group of employees in court.  Ms. Teukolsky discussed the future of PAGA, predicting that the United States Supreme Court will take up the issue of the arbitrability of PAGA in the next five years.  She also discussed how courts are dealing with settlement of PAGA claims given the lack of guidance in the PAGA statute.
