Wage and Hour
We defend employers against wage and hour claims brought as part of individual or class action lawsuits, or administratively before Deputy Labor Commissioners with the California Department of Industrial Relations. We hold a remarkable record of success in administrative wage and hour adjudications (“Berman Hearings”) before the Deputy Labor Commissioners. We litigate aggressively at the administrative level which is our clients’ first line of defense; and we have defeated numerous wage and hour claims brought by independent contractors alleging employee status.
