The way you're treated at work affects the rest of your life
Being a woman or person of color, having children, taking time off for health reasons, having a chronic illness or disability, speaking out about corporate misconduct or safety issues—none of these things should hold you back in your career. We’re honored to represent employees and executives in discrimination, retaliation, and whistleblower cases. We also act as trusted advisors to professionals through career transitions like new job offers, founder disputes, requesting reasonable accommodations, and exits.
We fight for the outcomes you deserve
Who we help
We support California employees and executives in a range of industries, with a focus on those working at Bay Area technology companies, from start-ups to large public companies.
How we help
We advise and represent employees in discrimination, retaliation, and whistleblower cases. We also act as trusted advisors to professionals through career transitions like new job offers, founder disputes, and exits.
We go beyond analyzing the legal issues in your case. We are empathetic listeners and strategic problem-solvers that consider the professional and personal implications of each course of action. We provide thoughtful guidance based on your unique needs, goals, and circumstances. We bring an emotionally intelligent and trauma-informed approach to our work together.
We’re not your average law firm
