Jonathan Turner Email & Phone Number

After many years as a co-managing partner with my own law firm, I was invited to join MSK, as a partner in the firm’s labor and employment law practice group. This was a welcome opportunity for me. Throughout most of my legal career, I have provided counsel, advice and representation to many employer clients also served by MSK, including major producers and distributors in the filmed entertainment industry. Having served earlier in my career as part of the legal staff for the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers and later as in-house labor and employment law counsel for Twentieth Century Fox, I already was professionally acquainted with MSK, its outstanding group of lawyers, and its reputation as a premier law firm for employers in the filmed entertainment industry; hence, the decision to join the firm was a natural and logical move for me.I have been with MSK since 2015, working out out of its Los Angeles offices, where I continue to advise and represent employers in all aspects of labor and employment law. While a large focus of my practice, as noted, is in the filmed entertainment industry, I also represent employers across all industry sectors. My practice includes employer representation in labor arbitrations, administrative proceedings, court litigation, and collective bargaining negotiations. I have successfully defended employers at trial and on appeal in wrongful termination cases involving claims for racial discrimination, age discrimination, sexual harassment, disability discrimination, retaliation and breach of employment contract. My practice also includes advice and counsel to employers on union organizing issues and collective bargaining negotiations on behalf of management.
