Labor & Employment

We are proud to have built a full-service labor and employment law practice that has been a critical part of O’Melveny for more than 50 years. Starting with strategic counseling, we advise employers in a broad spectrum of industries on all aspects of employment law and labor relations. Much of our advice is preventative in nature, conducted with the goals of minimizing or eliminating employers’ exposure to liability and costly litigation, and fostering productive relationships between employers and their work forces. We draft and review employment policies, and consult with clients regarding termination or discipline, and the design and implementation of management seminars and training. 

Our breadth of expertise spans every facet of employee and labor relations, including:

• Compliance/Counseling/Training

• Employment Discrimination and Sexual Harassment

• Employee Benefits, Executive Compensation

• ERISA

• Non-Competition/Employment Agreements

• Safety and Health (OSHA)

• Wage and Hour

• Wrongful Discharge

We are highly experienced in litigating and addressing issues concerning discrimination, harassment, wage and hour, and employee benefits matters, as well as difficult personnel actions and workforce reductions. We have litigated single plaintiff, multiple plaintiff and class actions in some of the highest profile cases in the country.
