The firm is well known along the West Coast for its employment law practice. The areas of expertise in our practice group are as diverse as the problems which arise from day-to-day in the workplace. Among other things, we counsel clients regarding compliance with various state and federal statutes, assist in the preparation of employment handbooks, and train human resources and other employees in the handling of employment-related issues. Where necessary, we represent our clients (both employers and employees) before various administrative agencies, such as the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, the California Department of Fair Employment and Housing (and similar state agencies along the West Coast) and before the California Labor Commission.

Once in litigation, we efficiently represent our clients in an attempt to resolve cases as early as reasonably practicable. We have excellent backgrounds in alternative dispute resolution, and have an outstanding rate of success in resolving cases at their early stages. However, we also aggressively prepare for trial, if necessary, and use our stable of well-known experts and consultants to assist where appropriate. Principal cases handled by our attorneys include claims for sexual harassment, reverse discrimination, failure to accommodate under the Americans with Disabilities Act, and various forms of gender, race, or national identity discrimination. Our firm also presents four hour to one day human resources seminars and presentations to its employer clients.
