Out-of-state companies doing business in California would be well-advised to look closely at a new bill pending in the California State Legislature. If you are concerned about defending litigation cases in the most plaintiff-friendly venues, or having some of the most anti-business/pro-consumer laws in the nation applied to your company, pay attention to California Senate Bill 1241, which threatens to remove any home-court advantage built into your consumer and employment contracts and apply California law to those types of disputes.
