Gary McLaughlin Quoted in CNBC
Gary McLaughlin was quoted in the article, "Uber, Lyft and the gig economy think they’ve found a way to win the national labor war," published by CNBC on August 6, 2024. The article discusses the California Supreme Court's decision to uphold Proposition 22, allowing app-based companies like Uber, Lyft, Grubhub, and DoorDash to classify drivers as independent contractors instead of employees. This decision, a significant win for the ride-hailing industry, is expected to influence similar legislation across the nation.

"The success in California after years of uncertainty gives rideshare companies 'some wind in their sails,' said Gary McLaughlin, partner at Mitchell Silberberg & Knupp. 'I think it provides a template for the types of laws they could try to get passed in other states, whether it’s through ballot initiatives, where that’s an option, or legislation,' he said."
