California to Prohibit Choice of Law and Venue Provisions in Employment Contracts | Practical Law
California Governor Jerry Brown recently signed into law Senate Bill No. 1241 (SB-1241) adding Section 925 to the California Labor Code. Section 925 prohibits the use of choice of law and choice of venue contract provisions that apply another state's law or require adjudication of disputes in another state as a condition of employment for an individual who primarily resides and works in California. The law applies to contracts entered into, modified, or extended on or after January 1, 2017.
