Jennifer B. Cottis
Employment, Labor Law and Business Dispute Attorney
Areas of Practice
The employment relationship is one that ought to be fulfilling, where employees are valued for their commitment, ideas and hard work. Sometimes that respect is not only missing, but the work environment is unlawfully permeated with hostility on account of one’s gender, age, race, religion, disability, whistleblowing, or other protected characteristic. Our firm is committed to vindicating the rights of employees in California subjected to unlawful harassment, retaliation, discrimination and wrongful termination of employment.
Unequal positions of authority can leave employees feeling they lack the means of questioning unlawful business practices. Our office advocates for California employees suffering from wage and hour violations, including missed meal and rest breaks, unpaid wages and overtime, and untimely or inaccurate payments of compensation.
Partners, joint venturers, and contracting businesses do not always agree. When conflicts escalate and the relationship becomes untenable, our practice is ready to assist, whether in a breach of contract, breach of fiduciary duty, conversion or other type of claims.
