OF COUNSEL - SUBSTANTIVE COUNSEL TO LAWYERS AND LAW FIRMS
Newly licensed attorneys just starting their practice and established attorneys who wish to expand their practice to representing employees in employment and labor law litigation are encouraged to contact us. We advise California attorneys and law firms on an Of Counsel basis on the substantive law and procedural aspects in this exciting, rewarding and valuable practice area.
Believe it or not, each week in California, employers violate employee rights. Unlike the defense bar which is paid hourly, plaintiff’s counsel is typically engaged on a contingency basis. California’s public policy and the FEHA attorney fee statute supports the award of attorneys' fees to prevailing plaintiffs which serves to encourage the enforcement of important employee rights. Even in a competitive market, a properly managed labor and employment litigation practice consistently thrives.
Attorneys and law firms can learn to practice this area of the law from intake through to case resolution:
Identify: and prosecute employee claims against harmful California employers.
Intake: set up marketing to acquire new clients and to vet clients thoroughly.
Demand preparation and negotiation.
Preparing the case for court filing or ADR, through discovery, mediation, settlement or trial.
Our fee structure is based on a flat monthly fee tailored specifically to the needs of our attorney and law firm clients. Contact us for our current fee schedule and availability.
California employers who hire outside counsel to provide independent workplace investigations are encouraged to contact us. In the course of this engagement, specialized outside counsel conducts witness interviews, weighs evidence and proposes objectively documented findings designed to result in defensible recommendations. This approach attempts to mitigate in house procedural missteps and omissions that could undermine employer defense.
In today’s litigious environment, retaining independent outside counsel is essential risk mediation. Employers need independence and impartiality in resolving workplace disputes and employees need a fair process. An external investigator brings this neutrality. Internal resources - even well-intentioned ones - face the perception of bias due to prior relationships, reporting structures and entrenched organizational dynamics.
Workplace investigations are designed to be conducted timely and efficiently, resulting in actionable recommendations to resolve disputes, conserve employers’ resources and avoid costly litigation. A prompt, thorough and impartial investigation is one of the strongest defenses against liability in harassment, discrimination, or retaliation claims. Engaging outside counsel demonstrates to employees, regulators and courts that the employer is commitment to fairness.
This is the only context in which we provide counsel to the employer.
