Being a defendant in a complex litigation case such as a class action lawsuit —where one employee files a lawsuit representing your whole workforce— is a situation that all employers hope to avoid.  In California, employers have the additional concern of claims brought under the state’s Private Attorneys General Act (PAGA), a law that allows employees to sue employers on behalf of themselves, the State of Califirnia, and other workers for civil penalties related to labor code violations.  Defending against class action and PAGA claims requires experienced defense attorneys who not only understand the system and nuances of the law, but can also advise employers before such claims arise. Our team of experienced employment attorneys is skilled in managing and defending these challenging cases at every phase of litigation to provide California employers an effective defense against class action and PAGA claims.
