Employment & Labor Litigation

  • Wrongful Termination Litigation. We aggressively litigate lawsuits in California involving allegations of illegal firing, discrimination, violation of public policy, defamation, breach of contract, fraudulent inducement, conversion and similar claims.
  • Overtime (Wage and Hour) Litigation. We handle claims involving overtime pay violations, meal and rest breaks, recordkeeping, prevailing wage issues, off-the-clock work time (i.e. e-mails, preparation), uniforms, vacation and sick pay benefits.
  • Employee Misclassification. We handle claims related to misclassification of employees as independent contractors, as well as claims of misclassification of employees as exempt (salaried) employees. Sometimes, an employer classifies an employee as “salaried” or “manager” however, that does not automatically exempt those employees from overtime pay. An employee may still qualify for overtime pay even though the employer has classified that employee as “salaried” or given that employee the title of manager. In some cases for example, some salaried sales representatives or account executives may be owed overtime.
  • Sexual Harassment Litigation. We handle sexual harassment litigation before state and federal courts and arbitrators throughout California.
