Los Angeles Employment & Labor Law Attorney
Employment and labor laws and compliance requirements are continually evolving in Los Angeles, creating a multitude of challenges for employers. While employment in this state is generally at-will employment, federal and state employment laws governing large and small businesses create exceptions to the at-will employment doctrine.
To further complicate matters, the number of employees you have determines which employment laws will impact your business. Any business with one or more employees in this state has a long list of state and federal employment and labor laws with which it must comply. As your trusted employment and labor law attorney in Los Angeles, we ensure your business stays compliant with all regulations.
Our partners at Hogan Zappaterreno, LLP can help you devise current employment law policies and strategies and draft contracts and employee manuals that help you better manage legal issues that may arise in the future. California has a reputation for being a litigious state. This is a constant risk for business in California, especially for businesses with employees.

Our employment and labor law attorneys in Los Angeles are committed to building long-term relationships with our business clients and providing ongoing services for any issue that could arise over the course of doing business.
