IN LITIGATION

New York Football Giants v. Flores

On February 5, 2026, WLF urged the Supreme Court to review and reverse a Second Circuit decision that invalidated the parties’ agreement to arbitrate their dispute. WLF contends that the appeals court improperly expanded the effective-vindication exception to the FAA by speculating about the arbitrator’s impartiality, an approach that threatens the enforceability of all arbitration agreements. WLF joined Atlantic Legal Foundation on the amicus brief, which was prepared by Grant Hollingsworth and Brett Covington  of Hollingsworth LLP.
