Employment and labor law practiced by the law firm emphasizes a preemptive approach to employer-employee issues. California employers face (many, without realizing it) a dizzying array of laws, many of them written to favor employee rights. Employers who spend the time and money up-front with us to develop appropriate forms, procedures, policies, and to adopt and regularly update application forms, employment agreements, independent contractor agreements, and employee manuals will generally find themselves with fewer employee and independent contractor problems. And if such problems do arise, the employer should be in a better position to defend any complaint or lawsuit.

Employment law services offered include the review, revision, drafting, and negotiation of the following for California businesses:

• Employment agreements and re-usable contract templates
• Employee handbooks
• Employment applications
• Independent contractor agreements and reusable contract templates, for independent contractors and for companies that utilize independent contractors
• Non-soliciation, non-disclosure, and non-compete agreements

Except in the case of independent contractors (small businesses unto themselves), or reviewing proposed employment agreements, we generally do not represent employees who believe they have been wronged by their employers.
