Employment Law Litigation
Helping Companies Defend Against Legal Claims Filed by Employees
Companies in California must comply with many different employment and labor laws. Violating an employee's rights under the law can lead to legal action, civil penalties, and financial liability for the employee's stated losses. However, there ways that companies can fight against unfounded claims by employees, and it is important that business owners consult with an employment litigation lawyer as soon as they suspect an employee may escalate a complaint to civil court.

Common Employment Disputes
Employees may believe their rights were violated in many different ways, and they may file lawsuits that involve a variety of state and local laws and regulations. Some common allegations include:
- Unlawful employment discrimination
- Sexual harassment or other forms of unlawful harassment
- Retaliation for exercising a legal right
- Wrongful termination
- Non-payment of overtime or minimum wage
- Health and safety violations
Often, employees may think that they are being treated unfairly when, in reality, an employer did not violate the law. For example, an employee may be angry about being fired and may claim that they were a victim of wrongful termination. However, California is an at-will employment state, so employers can fire employees for any reason that is in line with the law and public policy. Just because an employee is upset does not mean your company should be held liable, and you should have the right lawyer defending against serious allegations.
