We also handle various types of energy-related disputes before federal and state courts, arbitral panels on the domestic and international levels, and before regulatory authorities.

Class Action Plaintiff Sent Packing After Winston Secures Enforcement of Binance’s Terms of Use
A Winston team secured a decisive victory for a major cryptocurrency exchange (and provided a potential roadmap for other online businesses seeking to enforce arbitration clauses in their terms of service) this week when a federal judge granted a motion to compel arbitration.
Experience
Winston represented a national food manufacturer in a putative state law class action and federal collective FLSA action filed by Tennessee-based independent contractors alleging misclassification under FLSA and various state law contract claims. Despite a forum-selection clause and choice of law provision in the independent contractor agreement naming Pennsylvania law and courts as the proper forum and jurisdiction, plaintiffs brought the action in federal court in Tennessee. Winston successfully transferred the matter to the federal court in Pennsylvania. After taking numerous depositions of the named plaintiffs and drafting an opposition to the motion for conditional certification of the nationwide class, Winston resolved the case favorably for the client, limiting the settlement to the Tennessee state class and existing opt-ins only.

Are Your Electronic Agreements Enforceable?
In today’s digital marketplace, direct sellers rely heavily on electronic agreements to govern their relationships with customers, vendors, and partners. But whether these electronic agreements are enforceable depends, at least in part, on how your policies and other terms are presented to users and the way assent is obtained. Courts scrutinize these issues closely, emphasizing that even minor design choices can make the difference between a binding electronic agreement and an unenforceable set of terms.

What Is the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR)?
The Federal Acquisition Regulation, commonly referred to as “FAR,” is a collection of regulations governing the process by which the federal government purchases products, supplies, and services. The FAR consists of 53 parts, each covering a different aspect of the government procurement process. FAR part 52, for example, provides solicitation provisions and clauses that can (and in some instances must) be inserted into contracts with the government. While the FAR applies to all executive agencies, many agencies, such as the Departments of Defense, State, and Veterans Affairs, have issued their own supplements to the FAR which provide regulatory guidance on contracting issues that are unique to them.

A federal contract is a binding contract or agreement with an authorized official of any agency or department of the U.S. Government for the purpose of purchasing goods, products or services of any kind, or purchasing, renting, or leasing property, for the direct use or benefit of the U.S. Government. Federal contracts are the procurement mechanism the U.S. Government uses to obtain such goods, products, services, and property across all sectors and industries. Federal contracts may be express or implied and may be of various different types, e.g., fixed-price, cost-reimbursement, time and materials, indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity (IDIQ).

What Is the Equal Rights Amendment?
Currently, the Constitution does not guarantee that all the rights it protects are held equally by all citizens without regard to sex. With 24 words, the Equal Rights Amendment would change that. It would provide that “[e]quality of rights under the law shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or any State on account of sex.” It would also give Congress the power to enforce that constitutional guarantee by passing legislation.
