About Kirsten E. Miller
Kirsten E. Miller is a partner at Miller | Williams LLP in Los Angeles, California. Ms. Miller spent the early years of her law career as an associate in the Labor and Employment Departments of regional and national law firms in Los Angeles, California. There, Ms. Miller represented Fortune 500 companies, privately held companies, and individual defendants against a wide variety of employment-related claims brought before administrative agencies and in state and federal court.
In her role as partner at Miller | Williams LLP, Ms. Miller continues to focus on defending employers against class action and individual lawsuits alleging violations of wage and hour laws, as well as defending against discrimination, harassment, retaliation, wrongful termination, breach of contract and other related claims.

Because Ms. Miller managed hundreds of employees over several years as a business owner in California’s High Desert before entering law school, she understands firsthand the challenges employers face in managing their relationships with their employees while navigating the intricacies of federal and California law.
