Employment Law Services for San Francisco Employers

Our attorneys focus on helping businesses prevent problems before they start and successfully manage challenges when they occur. Our employer services include:

Compliance Counseling

California employment laws change frequently. We help your business stay compliant with wage and hour laws, employee classification (W-2 vs. independent contractor), leave policies, and workplace safety regulations to avoid violations and penalties.

Employee Handbook Development

Clear, well-written policies are key to reducing liability. We draft and review employee handbooks, contracts, and workplace policies that align with current labor laws and protect your interests.

Wage and Hour Defense

Wage claims are common and costly for employers. If you're facing allegations of unpaid overtime, meal and rest break violations, or misclassification of employees, we provide aggressive defense strategies to protect your business.

Discrimination and Harassment Defense

Employee claims of harassment, discrimination, and retaliation can damage your company’s reputation and finances. We defend employers in administrative hearings, mediation, and litigation to resolve these claims effectively.

Wrongful Termination Defense

We guide employers through proper termination procedures and defend against wrongful termination lawsuits, ensuring you comply with all legal requirements when ending employment relationships.

Workplace Investigations

When serious allegations arise, such as harassment or misconduct, we conduct impartial workplace investigations to protect your company and provide documentation that stands up in court.

Employment Agreements and Contracts

From non-compete clauses to severance packages, we draft and review employment agreements designed to minimize legal exposure and clearly define expectations.
