Labor & Employment

Best Best & Krieger LLP provides private and public employers with a full range of legal counsel and litigation services for all types of workplace issues and needs. Our labor and employment attorneys work exclusively in this practice area and are highly experienced with the growing challenges of employers. Our goal is to help employers successfully navigate the legal minefield that state and federal employment laws impose on businesses and agencies. Through our counsel and early case involvement, we help minimize exposure to the huge jury verdicts prominent in today's headlines.

BB&K represents clients in the areas of labor relations and employment law, including representation of employers in both state and federal courts, and before state and federal administrative agencies including the National Labor Relations Board, the Public Employment Relations Board, the California Department of Fair Employment and Housing, the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, the State Labor Commissioner, and the Division of Occupational Safety and Health.

The firm's services also include representing employers in matters involving employee termination and other discipline, employment discrimination, sexual harassment, wage/hour disputes, workplace investigations, employee safety concerns, union representation proceedings, unfair labor practice charges, labor negotiations, grievances, and other employment related arbitration and mediation.

In today’s workplace environment, it is increasingly important to prevent labor and employment relations problems before they occur – and before they result in litigation.  That is why we work diligently to help our clients avoid workplace conflicts.  When they do occur and litigation is unavoidable, the attorneys of BB&K’s Labor & Employment Practice Group offer a level of experience and expertise on which our clients have come to rely.
