Galen v. Redfin Corporation

Arbitration clause covering disputes "arising out of or related to" the parties’ agreement extended to issue of whether plaintiff was misclassified as an independent contractor, even to the extent that the issue implicated plaintiff’s Labor Code claims. Mutual attorney fee provision did not "shock the conscience" and result in unconscionability. Neither inconvenience nor the additional expense of litigating in the selected forum will support the invalidation of a forum-selection clause. California public policy favors enforcement of such clauses and places the burden on the objecting party to establish that the clause is unreasonable.
