John Giovannone was quoted in an April 1 story “5 Areas Bucking The Slowdown In Litigation” from Law360 on the California’s Private Attorney General Act which allows private citizens to pursue civil penalties on behalf of the state against companies for labor violations, and receive a quarter of penalty payments without being subject to arbitration agreements. The act has led to a steady flow of employment-based litigation in the Golden State. Giovannone said that he has heard of litigation slowdowns in other jurisdictions, but his experience has been the opposite, giving credit to a plaintiff-friendly atmosphere.
