Our Employment Law practice provides employers and organizations with comprehensive counsel through the complexities of workplace law. The firm helps businesses comply with the complex and dynamic laws and regulations governing employers, advising on matters such as wage-and-hour compliance, employee classification, workplace safety (OSHA) standards, anti-discrimination and harassment policies, leave management, and other human resources best practices. We work proactively with clients to develop sound employment contracts, handbooks, and training programs that align with both legal requirements and the client’s organizational culture. By prioritizing compliance and preventative strategies, we help clients minimize risk and create productive, legally compliant workplaces.

When disputes do arise, our litigation experience ensures that we can vigorously defend our clients’ interests. We regularly handle employment litigation involving claims of wrongful termination, discrimination, sexual harassment, retaliation, and wage or overtime violations, among others. The firm navigates proceedings before federal and state courts as well as administrative agencies (such as the EEOC, DFEH, and Labor Commissioner), staying at the forefront of evolving case law and regulatory guidance. True to our litigation-forward ethos, we prepare every case with the possibility of trial in mind – from day one we formulate a defense strategy that leverages our trial experience to the client’s advantage. We are prepared to litigate to win when necessary, using motion practice, mediation, or courtroom advocacy as appropriate. This balanced approach – combining day-to-day compliance counseling with aggressive dispute resolution – provides our employment clients both peace of mind in their daily operations and formidable protection when facing legal challenges.
