Our attorneys have employment litigation experience in the following areas, among others:

• State and federal claims of discrimination involving Title VII, the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), and the Age Discrimination in Employment Act (ADEA)
• The California Labor Code
• Sexual harassment
• Wrongful discharge
• Retaliatory discharge
• Federal and state claims of wage and hour violations, including the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA)
• Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA)
• Safety and health violations
• Various employment-related tort actions 
• Contract disputes
• Non-competition covenants
• ERISA and employee benefits
• Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification (WARN) Act
• Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act (USERRA) 
• Various constitutional claims

In these engagements, our lawyers use thorough research, creative thinking, and careful factual development to maximize the prospects for successful results.  We also have a strong track record of successfully resolving lawsuits through mediation and other alternative dispute resolution methods.  Our lawyers have the experience to put the defense of any employment lawsuit in its proper perspective, viewed from the standpoint of our clients’ fundamental interest in building and maintaining strong, dynamic relationships with their workforces.
