The LTL Firm provides practical advice to our corporate and individual clients to prevent and resolve employment disputes. We counsel clients on such issues as wrongful termination, race, gender and disability discrimination, wage and hour requirements, sexual harassment, medical and disability leave, and compensation and termination. When litigation is certain, we resolve problems quickly and cost-effectively. While several law firms over-litigate claims, we use efficient tactics and strategies to obtain timely and favorable results. We have successfully represented employers and employees in administrative proceedings before state and federal agencies (including the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, the California Department of Fair Employment and Housing, and the U.S. Department of Labor), state and federal courts, and all leading arbitration institutions (AAA, NYSE, and NASD). We were recently retained as outside employment counsel for the California State University as part of its diversity initiative.
