California HR

Overview

Managing the ever-changing workplace in California is a relentless but achievable challenge. Our interdisciplinary California HR team, based in our San Francisco and Los Angeles offices, navigates complex California laws to help your business maintain compliance and avoid problems before they happen.

Our team provides creative, practical and timely solutions, whether you need help achieving employment law compliance, managing labor issues, assisting with immigration problems or defending litigation. We also advise in-house counsel and human resources professionals on executive compensation and laws affecting the provision of employee benefits.

California’s complex wage-and-hour laws pose exceptional challenges to employers and can expose them to serious liability, including putative class, representative or collective actions and administrative enforcement or audits. Our premier wage-and-hour class action and compliance practices focus on assisting employers of all sizes in an efficient, results-focused way.
