What Does the Firm Do?
The focus is employment law and related business matters

Prevention
Usually, employees are the most valuable asset in your business. Employees can also cost you a lot
of time and money. Therefore, prevention is a primary concern. Proper
legal advice, sought and delivered before problems develop, is key to success in management.
Education and Training
Employment laws and regulations are complex and change all the time. California laws, especially, differ from federal
laws and most other states; they impose detailed requirements on employers, are often counter-intuitive and sometimes fly
in the face of common sense. Education and training are essential if you want to avoid
the many traps for the unwary.
Investigation and Litigation
Unfortunately, litigation of employment matters can be exasperating, exhausting and expensive. If you
as an employer lose a discrimination lawsuit, you can end up having to pay not only your own lawyer, but also the
lawyer who sued you. So you need a lawyer who can find out the facts of the case and
who knows when it's best to negotiate a settlement and when to recommend a
fight.
