Litigation Defense and Pre-Litigation Advice
Services for Employers
Human Resource and Employment Law Advice
Investigations
We represent clients from the pre-litigation demand phase through trial and appeal, if necessary. Our experience includes employment litigation from individual charges, single plaintiff, multi-plaintiff, or collective actions. We have defend employers against claims of discrimination, harassment, retaliation, wrongful discharge, wage and hour violations, unfair competition, labor-management disputes, defamation, and other employment-related torts.
Although we are willing and able to try a case, our goal is always to resolve a matter through summary judgment or achieve an early settlement consistent with our client’s wishes. We control the breadth and pace of litigation to match the desires of our clients.
We focus on an early case analysis because it helps to deterimine the potential exposure to the client, the likelihood of summary judgment, and puts us at an advantage vis-a-vis the opposing counsel who often have not fully developed their theories or collected significant information regarding the facts. This step also helps to reduce fees in the long run by avoiding post-discovery surprises that might occur when investigation is minimal or delayed.
We also realize that there is no "one size fits all" defense strategy. We work with you to understand your motivations and long term goals in winning at trial, ending the litigation, or preventing future litigation. If you decide, based on our early analysis that the case is one that we should not litigate, we will work to secure the best settlement possible. In this regard, we make considerable use of alternative dispute resolution to contain costs and manage litigation risk. We also are vigilant in helping employers to compel arbitration when appropriate.
At Post Legal Group, we take care to provide our clients with high quality legal representation for the unique needs of their businesses. We are available for consultation 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
We provide full service advice, mediation, arbitration, and litigation services for our clients, typical services include the following:
We help our clients comply with the various federal and California employment laws. We have extensive employment law and human resource experience and regularly serve as human resource contacts for smaller businesses with no need for a full time human resource professional. We are also available to assist human resource professionals with complicated or novel legal questions outside of their areas of expertise. We are dedicated to understanding our clients’ business objectives and crafting practical solutions to the employment issues affecting them.
By working closely with our clients, their human resources, or payroll departments we provide advice to reduce or eliminate the risks of future litigation. An employer’s best defense against employment litigation is an informed team of human resources professionals and managers. We are able to give advice and training to these team members.
We are available to provide preventive advice and counseling on all issues 24 hours a day, seven days a week. We speak frankly; we ensure that ourclients understand the potential liabilities associated with the options we present them and advise them as to the option we consider most efficient, but the decision is always in the hands of the client. Our role as advisros is to give the client the information needed to make an informed decision. If we notice systemic problems or employment policies likely to affect other employees, we notify our clients immediately and are available to provide advice on correcting such problems as efficiently as possible.
We also offer in-person sexual harassment training for managers that is compliant with California's AB1825 law. Every two years, managers are required to receive training on recognizing, avoiding, and preventing sexual harassment in the workplace. Many companies offer on-line training, but we are capable of offering competitevly priced personal training for groups of managers that is more interactive and effective. This training can also be incorporated into a larger program regarding proper management techniques for counseling poor performers, avoiding discrimination, understanding medical and personal leave requirments, or any other specific issues that have affected your business.
We help our clients respond to charges filed by current or former employees from the Department of Fair Employment and Housing (DFEH), Division of Labor Standards Enforcement (DLSE), Department of Labor (DOL), the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB), and the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC).

We have literally handled hundreds of investigations from the above agencies.
