I defend employers against wage-and-hour class action claims as well as Private Attorneys General Act (“PAGA”) claims. I also defend and represent employers in all manner of single plaintiff employment lawsuits alleging violations of California’s Fair Employment and Housing Act, the ADA, and various other Federal and California employment and labor laws. I conduct all aspects of case management ranging from initial discovery to settlement negotiations to dispositive law and motion practice to appeals. I also advise clients on issues related to employee discipline, compensation, regulatory compliance, and other sensitive matters. I also revise, draft, and update employment handbooks to ensure compliance with evolving federal and state law. As part of my advisement work, I also conduct confidential workplace investigations and communicate my findings to institutional clients, including C-Suite executives of various public and privately held companies. Industries serviced: media and film, alternative energy, automobile manufacturing, healthcare, logistics, and food and beverage.
