From its offices in Los Angeles, California, the law firm of Miller | Williams LLP defends employers against individual and class action lawsuits and assists employers in resolving claims through alternative dispute resolution.
Employment Litigation
We vigorously defend employers in Los Angeles and throughout California against both individual lawsuits and class actions alleging state and federal claims involving:
- Wage and Hour Violations
- Overtime Pay/Exemptions
- Discrimination
- Failure to Reasonably Accommodate
- Sexual Harassment
- Other Prohibited Workplace Harassment
- Hostile Work Environment
- Retaliation
- Wrongful Termination
- Breach of Contract
- Employment-Related Trade Secrets
- Related Employment Issues
In addition to representing employers in state and federal trial and appellate courts, we also represent employers in administrative hearings, including matters before the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), the California Department of Fair Employment and Housing (DFEH), and the California Department of Labor Standards Enforcement (DLSE). We occasionally represent individual employees on a selective basis as well.
Effective Litigation Strategies for Cost-Effective Litigation
Our litigation team provides our clients with effective representation, emphasizing early collaboration and case investigation, allowing us to provide realistic case evaluations and devise custom tailored litigation strategies that produce results, while controlling costs. We also make effective use of the latest legal technologies and experts to provide clients with sophisticated and efficient representation at all phases of litigation.
In addition, we understand the importance of working with, not just for, our clients. We collaborate with them during the litigation process, involving them in key strategy decisions and keeping them up-to-date on case developments, to ensure that our strategies take into account their practical business realities.
We also assist our clients with litigation avoidance and pre-litigation matters. To learn more, please see our employer advice and counseling and workplace trainings and investigations legal services pages.
Alternative Dispute Resolution
At Miller | Williams LLP, we also have extensive experience assisting clients in resolving claims and disputes without incurring the time and expense of trial. In today’s economic climate, employers are especially concerned about the costs of litigating employee disputes. Litigation can be costly not only in terms of money expenditures, but also in terms of human capital, as litigation often ties up key executives and employees, taking them away from their regular job functions and their focus on producing for the business.
We regularly advise clients for whom alternative dispute resolution is appropriate and vigorously represent clients in arbitrations, mediations, and informal settlement negotiations.
