Los Angeles Employment Law Attorney

Every employer in California faces an increasingly difficult legal environment in which claims related to discrimination, medical and disability leaves, and wrongful termination are commonplace. Without an experienced lawyer, employers can easily run afoul of the complex web of state and federal statutes and regulations, and disputes that initially seem small often evolve into significant legal and financial risks.

David Freedman helps employers manage these challenges by providing counseling concerning compliance with the laws that govern the employment relationship, work performance and discipline problems, requests for accommodations and leaves of absence, and discharge decisions. He assists employers with:

• Employment contracts
• Handbooks and personnel policies
• Wage and hour compliance
• Accommodation of employees with disabilities
• Management of family medical leaves
• Trade secret agreements
• Discipline and discharge decisions
• Separation agreements
• Investigation of employee complaints

When government agencies get involved, he helps employers collect evidence, respond to requests for information, and reach conciliations. He has assisted employer facing investigations by the US Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, US Department of Labor, California Fair Employment & Housing Commission, California Labor Commissioner, and the California Employment Development Department.
