    California Labor & Employment

    Our dedicated team of California labor and employment attorneys guide our clients through the state’s complex labor laws and regulations.

    Overview

    California has more employees than any other state and that number is projected to grow by nearly 40% by 2025. Obscure state and municipal laws further complicate areas of employment that already require watchful attention—such as pay and wages, discrimination and harassment, employee leave, and reductions in workforce. And incentives for whistleblowers and employee-led lawsuits and class actions heighten the risk for employers. Our team will ensure you have the proper policies and procedures in place to mitigate risk and will defend you against any action.

    Representative Experience

    • California hospital association: Represented on numerous matters including most recently COVID-19-related issues of concern to members
    • Nonprofit hospital: Represented in a variety of labor and employment matters, including collective bargaining negotiations and unfair labor practices
    • Medical center: Represented in the first challenge to Cal/OSHA’s first in the nation and highly controversial aerosol transmissible diseases (ATD) standard
