Labor and Employment Law
Michel & Associates, P.C.’s labor and employment attorneys provide business and municipal clients with experienced, sophisticated, and cost-effective representation for all personnel-related legal matters. Our team prosecutes claims against former employees and competing businesses for theft of trade secrets and confidential information, and represents employers who have been sued by employees or charged by state or federal agencies with alleged labor or employment law violations.
California labor law is among the most complex in the country, and frequent legislative changes create challenges for employers. Businesses with employees in California need knowledgeable labor attorneys to avoid costly compliance pitfalls. Michel & Associates’ attorneys have decades of experience guiding employers in protecting their companies while remaining compliant with evolving labor regulations.
We offer comprehensive counsel on employment relationships to employers of all sizes across a wide variety of industries. We advise clients on all aspects of the employment relationship, including recruitment and hiring, policy and procedure development, board of director guidance, employee discipline, and severance processes. We assist employers in complying with federal and state wage and hour laws, handling unemployment and disability claims, maintaining employment insurance coverage, understanding and following Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSHA) regulations, implementing drug testing programs when appropriate, protecting employee privacy, and ensuring compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).
Michel & Associates is experienced in representing clients in both established and emerging industries. One growing area of expertise is the cannabis industry, including manufacturers, providers, and retailers. Our attorneys help new and emerging businesses establish compliant employment policies and procedures, protect against employee claims, and navigate both state and federal employment law. We work with companies to implement strong compliance protocols from the outset, helping prevent disputes and costly legal issues as the business grows.
In addition, we defend clients against a wide range of employee claims, including allegations of unpaid wages and benefits, wrongful termination, discrimination, retaliation, harassment, and workplace violence. Michel & Associates provides practical, results-oriented legal solutions designed to protect businesses and municipal employers while ensuring compliance with California and federal employment laws.
