Teresa Tracy quoted in Los Angeles Times article, “Hiring Part-Time Workers Can Have Downsides Too"
Our Labor and Employment attorneys regularly practice in all California State and Federal Courts, providing litigation representation in wage and hour matters, complex class actions, wrongful termination claims, discrimination and harassment disputes, non-solicitation and non-competition actions, enforcement of confidentiality agreements, and in unfair competition actions involving former employees. Such representation routinely involves an early evaluation of whether such disputes can be efficiently resolved through mediation, arbitration, or some other informal or formal dispute resolution procedure.
We similarly provide a wealth of experienced representation in administrative proceedings before the Department of Fair Employment and Housing, California Labor Commissioner, Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, Department of Labor, Employment Development Department, Division of Labor Standards Enforcement, OSHA and similar administrative agencies.
