How can employment counsel help?  

Dispute Resolution

Our goal is to resolve conflict efficiently and definitively.  If a dispute cannot be resolved informally, we are prepared to litigate aggressively to protect our clients' interests.  We offer broad experience in a variety of disputes, including claims of discrimination, harassment, wrongful termination, failure to accommodate, and other wage and hour claims.

Experienced Counsel 

Even without conflict, it can be daunting to ensure compliance with a myriad of federal, state, and local laws regulations.  We are here to guide your business through the intricacies of these laws, minimizing legal risk and providing the needed expertise for making informed decisions. ​

Pay Equity

Let us be your partner in the review and implementation of appropriate compensation practices, help ensure compliance with evolving pay transparency disclosures, and develop regular, robust and privileged pay equity analyses to withstand scrutiny under federal and California equal pay laws.  ​
