Lawson + Lawson’s Employment Law Practice has been advising employers and representing them in litigation for more than 15 years. Within five years of its founding, the firm was named to the S.F. Business Times list of the Top 100 Women-Owned Businesses in the Bay Area. Our litigators have over 60 years of employment defense litigation experience.
We have successfully represented employers ranging from startups to Fortune 50 companies in cases involving discrimination, harassment, retaliation, wage-and-hour claims, and wrongful termination. Our partners have successfully tried multiple cases to state and federal court juries. We regularly counsel clients on employee discipline and termination, personnel policies, wage-and-hour compliance, and litigation avoidance. We also conduct neutral investigations of workplace misconduct claims.
