Comprehensive Employment Law Representation and Advice For California Employers

Navigating California and federal employment regulations can be complex and overwhelming. For many small and midsized businesses, maintaining an in-house HR department may not be practical. However, expert legal guidance can help prevent costly litigation and efficiently address workplace concerns.

We provide a comprehensive suite of legal services designed to support employers across California in navigating complex employment law challenges. Our expertise includes:

  • Defense Against Employment-Related Claims: Defending businesses against allegations of unlawful discrimination, harassment, retaliation, wrongful termination, and related claims.
  • Employment Practices Liability Insurance (EPLI) Representation: Representing employers who have EPLI coverage for employment claims made against them.
  • Wage and Hour Disputes: Defending employers against class action and individual claims related to unpaid wages, meal and rest break violations, failure to reimburse expenses, associated penalties, and other wage-and-hour disputes.
  • Private Attorneys General Act (PAGA) Actions: Representing employers in actions brought on behalf of the Labor and Workforce Development Agency, where PAGA penalties are pursued.
  • Workplace Investigations: Conducting thorough, confidential investigations into allegations of discrimination, harassment, workplace violence, bullying, and retaliation.

Beyond employment law litigation defense, we empower businesses with proactive consulting services to foster compliant, efficient, and productive workplaces:

  • Workplace Training Programs: Developing and delivering training tailored to prevent sexual harassment, workplace bullying, and other compliance-related issues.
  • Policy and Document Drafting: Crafting and reviewing critical employment documents, including employee handbooks, employment contracts, severance agreements, and noncompetition agreements, to ensure clarity, compliance, and legal protection.

Our firm’s commitment to proactive solutions and strong defense strategies ensures that employers are not only prepared to address immediate challenges but also equipped to build a resilient and legally sound workplace for the future.
