Legal Representation for Employers in a Wide Range of Employment Disputes and Compliance Matters 

Our office regularly represents small and medium size employers in a wide range of employment compliance and litigation matters. We distinguish our representation by working together with our clients to find the best practical solution to the legal challenges their face, in light of the unique nature of their business, financial situation and the issues they are facing, in order to both minimize exposure and legal expenses.  For more information about our work representing employers, please visit our San Francisco Employer Defense site.
