California's highest court on Wednesday ordered a lower court to take a closer look at an alleged conflict between the state's employment and arbitration laws, issuing a victory to a former Dentons partner who claims he was unjustly fired over a disputed $34 million contingency fee.
A California appellate judge has put a former Dentons LLP partner's impending arbitration with the firm on hold over claims he was wrongfully fired over a disputed $34 million contingency fee, finding that a prior preliminary injunction still stands and enjoins the New York proceedings.
A New York state judge has declined to weigh in further on a former Dentons partner's claims that he was wrongfully fired, ruling Tuesday that it's up to an arbitrator to determine how to proceed while a parallel appeal plays out in California.
