Employment Litigation
A specialized and tailored approach to litigation: find peace in the complex and evolving landscape of employment law.
Have You Received a Records Request, Demand Letter, or Claim from an Employee’s Attorney?
Lawsuits and threatened lawsuits by your current or former employees can easily take a business off track, damaging relationships, reputation, employee morale, and revenue along the way. A claim brought by an individual or small group of employees can feel very personal, and it often is.
Sometimes, these allegations are backed by evidence. In many cases, the claims are unfounded and can’t be adequately proven. It is easy for an employee to file a claim based on a grudge or the hope of a quick payout. Unfortunately, there are plenty of plaintiffs’ attorneys who are happy to file suits or an administrative charge against employers regardless of the merit of the case.

Defense Representation for Managers and Other Individuals Named in Employment Litigation
Today, most suits filed by individual workers name not only a company but also a specific manager or supervisor, who is alleged to be at fault for harassment, retaliation, or some other form of wrongdoing. It may be best for the company being sued and the manager named as a co-defendant to have separate legal counsel.
This new trend has added a layer of complexity to obtaining appropriate representation to fully protect companies and their leadership teams. California law firms handling employment litigation matters can recommend Medina McKelvey as capable and experienced representation for managers and other individuals who are named as co-defendants.
