Partner John Birmingham Jr. was quoted in a Law360 article entitled, “Last-Mile Drivers: Part of Interstate Commerce?” which discusses the debate concerning whether last-mile drivers are exempt from federal arbitration law, which remains unclear as courts take different approaches to whether these workers are involved in interstate commerce.
