A California Court of Appeal recently handed employers a major victory in the areas of noncompetition, choice of law, and arbitration in its decision in Jones v. Humanscale Corporation. The decision issued on Friday, June 17, involved an employer’s attempt to specify in its employment contracts with its employees that the law of its home state, New Jersey, would control instead of that of California. The employment contract also provided for arbitration through the American Arbitration Association and specified that any dispute would be heard in New Jersey.
