Is an arbitration clause in a retainer agreement enforceable? An article in today’s NYLJ by David L. Eisberg, a partner at Quinn Emanuel suggests that arbitration clauses may not be enforceable by law firms against their clients. He cites Larrison v. Scarola Reavis & Parent LLP to show that there is a strong public policy argument against arbitration, not to mention Part/Rule 137 of the Rules of the Chief Justice, and the question of whether this rule trumps an arbitration clause.
