In employment law, we represent both employers and employees. We believe our broad, deep experience in a wide range of employment issues has allowed us to develop a truly complex understanding of this area of law.

Sophisticated Employer Representation

Our discrimination attorneys provide perceptive, realistic help for companies who wish to prevent employment conflicts through training and compliance programs. We can evaluate your company’s policies and make recommendations to help limit your exposure to litigation and help build a corporate culture that makes conflict in the workplace less likely. For example, we help companies develop employment handbooks and training manuals to help ensure that your managers and employees know exactly what your policies direct.

When conflicts do arise, our employment lawyers can offer a variety of strategies to resolve them. For example, if an employee makes a sexual harassment allegation, we have the capacity to perform in-depth worksite investigations to determine whether there is evidence supporting an employee’s complaint. If misconduct has occurred, we can offer recommendations about how to handle the situation and minimize the damage.

If our determination is that no misconduct occurred, we can use the results of our investigation in negotiation with the employee or to advise the EEOC or DFEH during its investigation. If the conflict still cannot be resolved, we are experienced in mediation, arbitration, and trial advocacy.

Dedicated Advocacy for Employees

When we represent people who have experienced discrimination, we evaluate each aspect of the case in order to determine how we can best put our resources to work. We make certain that the employee has filed the appropriate complaints with the EEOC and DFEH and then perform our own investigation to determine what happened. Our goal is to help you resolve the dispute as quickly and satisfactorily as possible, using negotiation, mediation, arbitration, or litigation.

Illegal employer discrimination can occur in relation to a number of different factors, often referred to as protected classes. Some of the types of discrimination cases we have handled include:

• racial discrimination
• sex/gender discrimination
  • sexual discrimination against women or men
  • sexual harassment
• national origin discrimination
• religious discrimination
• age discrimination (ADEA)
• pregnancy discrimination
• disability discrimination (ADA)
  • discrimination based on mental health matters, such as Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and depression
  • perceived disabilities, such as HIV status or AIDS
