The Delaware Court of Chancery issued an important victory to HSW in the firm’s ongoing action against BuzzFeed, striking down the media company’s second attempt to prevent a group of former employees from arbitrating their claims stemming from its initial public offering. Partners Joseph Gallagher, Yonaton Aronoff and Jonathan Harris represent more than 40 former BuzzFeed employees who allege they were wrongfully locked out of selling their shares (causing them to suffer millions of dollars in losses) after the company went public via a SPAC transaction in late 2021. HSW brought the former employees’ claims in arbitration and BuzzFeed Inc. (NASDAQ: BZFD) filed suit in Delaware court to stop the arbitration. This latest gambit by BuzzFeed was its second attempt to force HSW’s clients to sue in Delaware. But the Chancery Court rejected BuzzFeed’s arguments, agreeing with HSW that only an arbitrator can decide where the suit belongs. A similar group of former BuzzFeed employees are represented by The Galbraith Law Firm and O'Brien LLP, and both groups are represented jointly by Bailey & Glasser, LLP in Delaware #Arbitration #IPO #SPAC

Segal McCambridge Shareholder Michael Luchsinger and Associate Ashley White published a column in Law360 regarding a case in Massachusetts, Nunez v. Syncsort, Inc., which centered around whether a terminated employee's retention bonus constituted "wages" under the state's Wage Act. In their column, Michael and Ashley highlight the differences in how wages are defined across different states and under federal law. While the Massachusetts Wage Act has a stricter interpretation, the federal Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) has a broader definition. “Employers in any state should certainly be cognizant of what their policies require them to pay at the time of separation,” write Michael and Ashley. “In the case of Nunez, reasonable minds could certainly have disagreed on whether the second installment of the retention bonus was ‘guaranteed’ to the plaintiff as he was technically employed on February 18, 2021, and not terminated for cause. Likewise, these cases are also instructive in that terms such as ‘wages,’ ‘bonuses,’ and ‘discretionary’ should not be assumed to hold our colloquial definitions when it comes to litigation.” Read more: https://bit.ly/4hnaANk (subscriber-based). #law360 #SegalMcCambridge #laborandemployment #wagesandemployment #massachusettswageact #FLSA
