Ensuring eSignature Lawfulness for Arbitration Agreement in Australia

How to eSign a document: e-signature lawfulness for Arbitration Agreement in Australia

please you have to stop signing arbitration agreements my name is Paige Sparks I'm an employment lawyer and I just want you to know it kills me a little bit on the inside every time I have to turn down a case because they sign an arbitration agreement when you sign an arbitration agreement for anything you're waiving your right to a jury trial for whatever you're signing that agreement for you could go get sexually harassed at work and I go to file the lawsuit to get Justice for you and we can't do it because you sign an arbitration agreement now an arbitrator gets to decide what happens to your case arbitration is like Kangaroo Court there are no real rules and it's really all up in the air not to mention you don't get a fair shot at anything most arbitration agreements delegate who gets to be the arbitrator and the company gets to pick I have a case right now where we are fighting tooth and nail to get my client out of this arbitration agreement and I'm pretty sure the law is on our side but it's something we don't want to do lawyers hate arbitration remember arbitration agreements aren't enforceable just because you sign them they're just like basic contracts so there's no consideration like you're already working there and you're asked to sign this agreement but they don't pay you and Most states continue that appointment is not adequate consideration to make a contract enforceable so always check with a lawyer in your state I would personally not work somewhere if they required me to sign one
