At Stradling Yocca Carlson & Rauth, our litigation attorneys stand ready to defend employers against the current wave of complex wage-and-hour and other employment class actions, as well as charges of discrimination, wrongful discharge, Family & Medical Leave Act (FMLA) violations, and sexual harassment.  

Our attorneys are also adept at resolving contract disputes, including those involving non-competition covenants and termination, and advise companies on reductions-in-force, personnel policies and employment agreements, and affirmative action programs so as to minimize lawsuits and bolster the defense against those that do occur.

Our litigators handle diverse and complex issues on behalf of companies in state and federal courts, and before government agencies, and have obtained favorable results for clients in jury verdicts, on motions to dismiss and for summary judgment, and in appellate court rulings.  

In defending class and collective actions, we routinely oppose class certification and notice to potential class opt-in participants, and, if appropriate, will seek resolution through settlement of claims.
