Comment on Would you ever give up your right to leave a bad review about a company?

That is, a consumer cannot be bound by a clause that prohibits writing reviews. And if a consumer of the company’s products is also an employee, then this act doesn’t prohibit a “no reviews” clause in the employment contract.

But that's not the situation in this scenario. OP's brother hired this firm to perform a service, and thus this law should apply

Whoops, you’re right. I misread the first sentence as though OP’s brother was hired by the company. In that case, yes, this act would appear to void any clause that would restrict writing a review, whether good or bad.
