Practice Areas

The Firm has long provided clients with thorough analysis and counsel regarding employment related issues. Our employment specialists advise and represent client management with respect to all equal employment and discrimination matters; wrongful termination and other common law employment litigation, including those arising from reductions-in-force, mergers and acquisitions; personnel related matters; wage and hour issues; and employee benefits matters. These services include the litigation of claims and issues in both state and federal court, and before various administrative agencies involved in regulating the workplace, such as the EEOC, the California Department of Fair Employment and Housing (DFEH), the U.S. Department of Labor, and the California Division of Labor Standards Enforcement.

The Firms labor and employment law practice involves the defense of claims and issues arising under state and federal employment discrimination statutes (Title VII, FEHA, ADEA, ADA) in all their complexities, as well as the defense of common law and statutory employment lawsuits for breach of contract, wrongful termination, infliction of emotional distress, defamation, invasion of privacy, and other employment related torts. In addition, the Firms attorneys counsel clients on their day-to-day labor and human resource problems, assisting in the implementation and review of employment policies, personnel handbooks, and contracts of employment to ensure compliance with existing wage and hour, labor and anti-discrimination laws.
