• Employment: 1 partner, 3 fee earners based in San Francisco

The firm provides advice, counsel and defends all types of employment lawsuits for private and public employers in federal and state court venues, as well as administrative agencies. This includes guidance in the creation of legally compliant policies and handbooks, as well as advice on virtually every type of personnel situation faced -- hiring, promotion, leave, wages, discipline and termination. The firm regularly engages with general counsel, public agency counsel, risk managers, and employment liability insurers to provide these services. When engaged to defend a lawsuit, the goal is to rapidly assess the strength and weakness of the case, both in terms of liability and damages. With client input, the firm then will focus the case for motions, settlement, and trial, if necessary.
