Employment Litigation and Counseling

Our partners have deep roots in some of the nation’s leading labor and employment defense firms, and we have collectively represented employers and supervisors in more than 200 single plaintiff and class action cases alleging every employment claim under the sun, including discrimination, harassment, retaliation, wrongful termination, and wage and hour violations. We understand the legal systems in which these laws and regulations are interpreted and enforced, and have a successful track record of narrowing issues through pleading challenges and disposing of entire cases through dispositive motion.

With a number of favorable trial verdicts under our belt, our attorneys have earned formidable reputations amongst California’s plaintiffs’ lawyers which invariably assists in controlling expectations. Our trial experience also helps us recognize fact patterns that warrant early resolution, and we assess settlement options early in each case and stick to our budgets throughout. Business leaders and owners trust us to handle their full slate of high-stakes litigation needs, from local agency charges to nationwide pattern and practice discrimination claims.

Clients also often turn to us for advice on day-to-day workplace issues, including the conduct of workplace investigations, workforce reductions, counseling on discipline and termination issues, and oversight of wage and hour audits. We have also represented both companies and executives on employment issues arising out of mergers and acquisitions, and have an active practice representing executives who require counsel to enforce their rights under employment agreements, compensation plans, and whistleblower statutes.
