Chavez has joined the Los Angeles, California office as Senior Counsel in the firm’s Cal/OSHA and California Labor and Employment practices.

This includes employment discrimination, wage and hour class action, NLRB, Cal/OSHA, and federal OSHA matters,” Ms. Chavez says. “I also focus on counseling employers on all matters related to managing employment relationships.”

The firm’s Co-Founder and OSHA Practice Chair Eric Conn says, “Great developments come in threes, and we have taken three big steps recently to achieve our mission of assembling the absolute best Cal/OSHA Defense and California Employment Law team. A few months ago, we elevated Megan to Partner, then we announced that Rachel had joined CMC from a top AmLaw firm to Chair our California Practice. Now we are thrilled to welcome Andrea, who had been Rachel’s top deputy at their prior firm.”
“Andrea is integral to our firm’s commitment to a strong and vibrant California practice,” Kara Maciel, Co-Founder and Chair of the Firm’s Labor and Employment Practice says. “Her experience with the complex California landscape that employers operating there have to navigate is so valuable. She is a terrific member of our team, and we are thrilled to have her as a steward for our California Practice.”
