Haroon Manjlai is a California employment litigator who represents employers and businesses in high-exposure workplace disputes in state and federal courts. His practice focuses on wage-and-hour class actions, PAGA representative actions, and FEHA discrimination, harassment, retaliation, and wrongful termination matters. Haroon regularly advises clients on early case assessment, compliance strategy, and risk mitigation, and represents employers through trial, mediation, and settlement.
Haroon has extensive experience defending employers in complex class and representative actions involving class certification, arbitration enforcement, representative discovery, and class-wide settlement procedures. In 2023, he obtained a complete defense verdict following a wage-and-hour trial, successfully defeating all liability claims asserted against his client. He routinely handles matters involving meal and rest break claims, overtime and misclassification disputes, and retaliation and discrimination allegations.
In addition to employment litigation, Haroon represents clients in complex business and commercial disputes, including partnership and contract matters. Before entering private practice, Haroon worked as a Public Affairs Manager for the Los Angeles chapter of a national civil rights nonprofit, where he advocated on legislative and policy initiatives and worked collaboratively with diverse communities on civil rights issues—experience that informs his practical and strategic approach to sensitive workplace disputes.
