"For every disaster, there's a [message] from John six months earlier spotting it, warning how it will happen, and how to avoid it easily." --TikTok executive, 2021.In three years of presidential threats to ban TikTok and unprecedented scrutiny, John led an employment law function with zero public employment lawsuits. One year after his voluntary resignation, TikTok faced so many employment lawsuits that it hired at least four full-time in-house employment litigators to manage the docket, including a putative class action of Black employees alleging race discrimination and a senior executive filing claims involving the C-Suite that were covered extensively in leading newspapers and referenced in the successful effort to ban the company from operating in the United States on national security grounds.Companies hire John to build integrated, scalable solutions that align with corporate stages of development and risk tolerance. John builds global "one-size-fits-all" processes as an expert project manager in employment law, compliance, and litigation, which also often involves privacy, product, and commercial work.John's expertise is that of a global employment lawyer who has single-handedly managed dozens of countries with no outside counsel support during all global corporate events, including re-organizations that require consent of Works Councils and government labor agencies.John trained for many years at only AmLaw100 law firms as a California employment litigator before moving in-house. As in-house counsel now with more than 17 years of experience, John has worked at Fortune 100 companies and built early-stage technology unicorns as the first US employment lawyer.
