San Francisco Lawyer

A San Francisco lawyer is a necessity when you are faced with potential employment litigation. At Shook, Hardy & Bacon L.L.P. (SHB), we specialize in Employment Litigation & Policy.

The SHB Employment Litigation & Policy Practice represents a number of Fortune 500 companies throughout the United States. Distinguished by our cost-effective litigation strategies, SHB attorneys craft innovative solutions that emphasize hard work, practicality and a commitment to diversity in the workplace. Our successes in both the courtroom and alternative dispute resolution have led The National Law Journal to name SHB to its Defense Hot List for “exemplary, cutting-work on the defense side.”

The SHB Employment Litigation & Policy Practice blurs the lines between traditional litigation services in providing comprehensive counsel to corporate employers. Each San Francisco lawyer at SHB focuses on early case evaluation, effective motion practice and favorable summary judgment outcomes, as well as jury trials.

Every San Francisco lawyer at SHB also has the opportunity to work with attorneys in our Orange County office, as well as our seven other offices around the United States and in Europe, to ensure we are equipped to handle your employment issue. A San Francisco lawyer may assist or even lead a case outside of California. With access to the firm’s veteran litigators and extensive technical infrastructure around the world, we are able to place the most talented attorney with the appropriate case to ensure we represent our client to the fullest of our abilities. The SHB employment litigation team draws on a wealth of experience pertaining to class action issues, expert witness development, electronic discovery, case-management technology, and the best practices of convergence programs. In addition, we possess extensive experience representing clients before the entire spectrum of quasi-judicial tribunals, including the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, the U.S. Department of Labor, the National Labor Relations Board, state and local administrative agencies, and in alternative dispute resolution proceedings.

The firm's employment practice attorneys are known for winning jury trials and class action work. Although most cases handled are resolved favorably by summary judgment, SHB lawyers relish opportunities to try cases. The early and careful development of case themes is the foundation of the employment practice's remarkable litigation success.

Not everyone can afford the services of a typical San Francisco lawyer, which is why SHB is proud to participate in a pro bono program that helps the underserved in our community. For more information about SHB, contact us today!
