  I represent and advise employers in a full range of employment-related disputes, including matters involving wage and hour violations, wrongful termination, breach of employment agreement, sexual harassment, discrimination, and trade secrets. I have in-depth experience defending wage and hour class actions and collective actions in both California and federal courts. I have worked on cases involving “off the clock” claims, meal and rest period claims, failure to reimburse claims, unpaid vacation claims, seating claims, and claims that positions were improperly classified as exempt from overtime.In addition to litigating, I also provide day-to-day counseling to employers on various labor and employment issues, including employment policies and procedures, wage and hour compliance, manager and employee training, and drafting agreements.
