Labor & Employment: The Elite

About

Provided by Manatt Phelps & Phillips LLP

Manatt’s robust employment and labor team offers clients a full suite of support for all their needs. The Firm’s practice is well-rooted in several key industries, and our attorneys boast reputations for their work with retail, entertainment, financial services and health care clients. It is the strength of Manatt’s reputation in these areas that sets its professionals apart from other employment and labor practices. 

The Firm’s work ranges from sophisticated defense of complex class actions, protection of trade secrets, and multi- and single-plaintiff litigation and appeals to daily counseling and compliance support regarding personnel management and operational issues, including sensitive matters such as issues involving high-level executives. Manatt’s bicoastal team works closely with clients, often serving as an extension of their in-house legal and human resources departments. The team has been particularly sought-after during the COVID-19 pandemic as clients navigate new challenges related to vaccine mandates, reopening guidelines for returning to the office, leave laws (state and federal), workplace closures, furloughs and reduction in force, and equipment and safety measure requirements.  

Manatt’s employment attorneys also work closely with the Firm’s transactional lawyers, providing strategic advice on all employment aspects of a merger or acquisition across a number of industries.
