Not really. Most all companies have Binding Arbitration built into employment contracts.

What lawyer wants to have their pay limited thusly?

You can hire your own lawyer for the proceedings but no jackpot payouts in arbitration.

Arbitration agreements have largely backed off in the last couple of years, because the main benefit (avoiding class action lawsuits) has been eroded. Activists discovered that you can cause serious economic damage to company simply by mass-filing arbitration claims, and some case law poked holes in just how "binding" the agreements were (and if someone can appeal their arbitration case, it defeats the whole point).

This shift happened 2022 ish.

Almost every tech company still uses them.
