Conduct legal research and prepare memoranda, briefs, motions, and other essential legal documentation.
Advocate for clients in hearings before organizations such as the California Labor Commissioner and other relevant agencies.
Assist clients in addressing employee disputes, internal investigations, and disciplinary actions while ensuring compliance with legal standards.
Deliver training sessions for HR teams and management on employment law updates and best practices.
Monitor changes in employment legislation and proactively inform clients of their implications.
Collaborate with colleagues across various legal disciplines to address complex client needs.
