A former Miami Heat lawyer who claimed she was fired for requesting parental leave failed to wriggle free of an arbitration agreement she signed when she was hired.
Vered Yakovee, who served as an associate general counsel for the NBA team from March 2015 to December 2019, argued the agreement was unconscionable because it was presented as a “take it or leave it” deal and she wasn’t given enough time to review or negotiate the terms.
