For Employers
San Diego's employers are the engine for the local economy. They provide jobs that allow our family members and friends to earn a living and raise their families. Most employers trust their employees fairly, and try to abide by California's complex and confusing labor laws. These employers don't deserve to be saddled with the enormous burden of litigation. However, litigation is the unfortunate reality faced by many of San Diego's employers. When the time comes to hire a firm to defend your company - whether in a seemingly small administrative hearing, or a full-blown class action challenging your business model - we are here to aggressively litigate on your behalf and shepherd your case to a successful conclusion. Your case will never be viewed as a blank check
or billing opportunity as we are always upfront about the costs of litigation. You can expect regular updates on the progress of your case, and how we anticipate bringing it to final resolution.
We have numerous employer clients that we have had the pleasure to represent for many years, and have enjoyed watching our clients grow and become successful. Many of these clients have become our personal friends over the years, and we appreciate their trust in allowing us to protect the companies they've built from the ground up.
Unlike many employment attorneys, we represent clients on both sides of the employment relationship - employees and employers alike. This dual representation enhances our understanding of the evidentiary and legal issues, as well as the intangible issues that are oftentimes more important to resolving litigation than the purely legal or economic issues. Don't be put-off by this dual representation - it will be a tremendous value to get your matter resolved quickly and effectively.
We represent employers in all types of employment cases, including:
- Unpaid overtime
- Missed meal and rest breaks
- Waiting time penalties
- Sexual harassment
- Discrimination
- Retaliation
- Wrongful termination
Besides litigation, most small to mid-sized businesses usually have a need for transactional employment issues, including:
- Drafting employee handbooks
- Employment contracts
- Severance agreements
- Non-compete clauses
- Partnerships
- Corporate structure/governance
We are available to help with these matters as well. We would like the opportunity to work for you, and we believe you will recognize and appreciate our value-driven approach to providing legal services. Please call us today to schedule a complimentary initial consultation.
CLIENT TESTIMONIALS
I've worked with Brent for several years in successfully starting several companies in Orange County. He's helped us with getting our corporations formed, drafting partnership and joint venture agreements, drafting employment contracts, employee handbooks, and severance agreements. He's also done an excellent job of shielding our companies from threatened litigation by employees and other third parties. I would whole-heartedly recommend him to any business with a need for employment or litigation services.

Brent has helped us with issues regarding our lease, independent contractor agreements, DLSE hearings, insurance coverage, and threatened litigation. He's always professional and easy to work with, and I would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for an attorney.
