Big win for the Litigation Team. Attorney Mark Himsworth secured an arbitration victory for a supplier after a general contractor refused to pay for materials delivered to a Pennsylvania construction project.

In Chilutti v. Uber , the Pennsylvania Supreme Court made it harder to immediately challenge orders sending cases to arbitration—while leaving bigger questions about online agreements unresolved. By Brittany Ann Kane In Chilutti v. Uber Technologies, Inc. , the Pennsylvania Supreme Court answ
