About

Provided by Davis Wright Tremaine LLP

Our California practice is unusual in its ability to provide the full spectrum of employment legal services, including traditional labor representation and employee benefits work. Some of our 40 California employment attorneys are recognized as formidable trial attorneys, others as effective class action or single plaintiff litigators, others for the in-depth advice and counsel they provide, and still others for their expertise in union contract negotiations and labor arbitration. The depth of our California employment team means that we have the resources to handle almost any employment matter that arises. It also enables our team to be nimble when organizing around new issues and to quickly and creatively solve issues for clients.

Our California team values and rewards cooperation, sharing, and delegation. Our attorneys are supportive of each other such that each attorney’s practice is complimentary rather than competitive towards one another. This mindset extends to the office level; we see ourselves as a California office, not simply as separate Los Angeles and San Francisco offices. Our clients benefit from this mind-set by having access to a comprehensive team – not only one or two siloed lawyers.
