I advise clients on the full spectrum of labor, employment, and related matters, including compliance and counseling, litigation and alternative dispute resolution, and transactional matters. My regular compliance and counseling work includes advising on domestic and global pay equity reviews; conducting workplace investigations; preventing unfair competition and trade secret misappropriation; planning and implementing reductions in force; and developing, implementing and enforcing personnel policies and procedures. In addition, I represent clients in litigation and alternative dispute resolution matters, including: wage and hour class, collective and representative actions; unlawful discrimination, harassment and retaliation claims; breach of contract claims; unfair competition claims; trade secret misappropriation claims; and traditional labor law disputes. My experience in this area includes dozens of appearances before courts, administrative agencies, arbitrators, and mediators.I also have extensive experience advising clients on the labor and employment aspects of business transactions from the earliest stages of the deal cycle through workforce integration and beyond. Further, I regularly assist clients with structuring, negotiating, and drafting employment agreements, consultant agreements, restrictive covenant agreements, arbitration agreements, severance agreements, collective bargaining agreements, and many other labor- or employment-related agreements.I was named to the Los Angeles Business Journal’s 2023 and 2022 lists of Leaders of Influence: Labor & Employment Attorneys, and I was a key member of the deal teams recognized by the Daily Journal with California Lawyer Attorneys of the Year (CLAY) awards for innovative work on behalf of Livongo Health, Inc. in its $18.5 billion acquisition by Teladoc Health, Inc., the largest-ever M&A transaction in the digital health sector (2021); Intel Corporation in its acquisition of Mobileye N.V. (2018); and Broadcom Corporation in its acquisition by Avago Technologies (2016). DEI and community service is incredibly important to me. I am a member of the Steering Committee of Skadden’s Black Lawyers for Diversity affinity network and a member of the Los Angeles office’s Hiring and Diversity committees. I am also a member of the Governance Board for Covenant House California, the Advisory Board for Teach For America Los Angeles, and the Associates Board for KIPP SoCal Public Schools.In certain jurisdictions, this may be considered attorney advertising.
