Practice areas
We partner with our clients to minimize their risk. Even when a client minimizes its risk, lawsuits can happen. When that occurs, you want someone to fight on your behalf. We believe in providing aggressive and ethical representation when clients face litigation.
We understand the emotional and financial impact related to facing discrimination lawsuits. Our attorneys are experienced in representing employers in state and federal courts throughout the West Coast. Litigation requires a legal strategy that is sensitive to the demands of the litigation in the current matter, but also must identify and mitigate future implications that may arise.
Disability and leave laws are becoming ever increasingly more complex, and nuanced. We have helped clients handle all types of disability and leave litigation, including under the Title VII of the Civil Rights Act, Family Medical Leave Act (FMLA), Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), Uniform Services Employment and Reemployment Right Act (USERRA), Washington Law Against Discrimination (WLAD), Washington Family Care Act, Washington Paid Sick Leave, Oregon 659A Discrimination, Oregon Family Leave Act, Oregon Paid Sick Leave, Alaska Anti-Discrimination Act, Alaska Family Leave Act, Alaska Paid Sick Leave (Ballot 1).
Wage & hour lawsuits have skyrocketed in the last decade. Our attorneys are experienced in defending our clients against donning and doffing, overtime allegations, employee misclassification, independent contractors, and prevailing wage claims.
Large-scale class actions have the potential to devastate a business. We have experience representing clients in Washington, Oregon, and California in class actions and collective actions. We understand the potential issues clients face, and help them navigate those issues.
