CHICAGO, June 7, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Keller Lenkner LLC Partner Warren Postman joined The Wall Street Journal's The Journal Podcast to discuss how Keller Lenkner's representation of thousands of individuals in arbitrations against Amazon led the company to abandon its arbitration clause.

Faced with corporate arbitration clauses requiring disputes to be brought in arbitration, many lawyers have refused to take on individual cases. Postman explained that he saw things differently: "Why couldn't a firm with sufficient resources and commitment file claims for hundreds or thousands or tens of thousands? Because once that happens, I think the balance of power flips," said Postman.
In early 2020, Keller Lenkner filed 74,000 individual arbitration demands against Amazon on behalf of consumers who had been unlawfully recorded by Amazon Alexa devices. Faced with the burden of arbitrating so many individuals' claims at once, Amazon last month changed its terms of service to remove its arbitration clause altogether. Although arbitration proceedings for Keller Lenkner's clients are still in process, Postman said the change "opens the courthouse doors again" for future consumers of Amazon products.
