Josh partners with employers to avoid litigation through policy and practice, and to successfully defend complex single-plaintiff discrimination, harassment, retaliation, wage-and-hour, and whistleblowing claims when necessary.
More About Josh
The myriad federal and state employment laws facing employers in California create a need for vigilant oversight and proactive measures to avoid litigation, whether relating to wage-and-hour, leave, discrimination, harassment, or retaliation matters. When litigation is unavoidable, it is essential that a unique strategy is developed to meet the particular needs of the clients, and the factual circumstances presented. Josh's clients rely on him for both these preventative and litigation services.
Since graduating from law school, Josh has worked exclusively in representing management in labor and employment relations matters. Although he has worked with clients in a variety of industries—staffing, financial services, transportation, and hospitality, just to name a few—his prior work in the entertainment industry situates him particularly well to work with clients dealing with the matters unique to that sector.
Josh is proud that many of his clients have not faced litigation or administrative action by employees. This owes in large part to the practical counseling Josh provides—the critical components of which are an understanding of an organization's operational pressure points, and a thorough knowledge of how employees respond to a variety of circumstances. However, if it is necessary to litigate, Josh offers his clients the benefit of his numerous successful experiences in civil lawsuits, appeals, alternative dispute resolution, and administrative agency matters.
Seyfarth's efforts to remain at the vanguard of legal technology afford Josh the opportunity to leverage a wide range of tools to facilitate efficient collaboration with his clients. Document automation tools enable Josh to provide consistent, reliable work product. The firm's platforms for collaboration with clients permit seamless exchanges of, and real time access to, critical documents and other information bearing on a case.
Josh, having spent more than a decade at Seyfarth, is confident that the single greatest asset the firm possess is its personnel. He is proud that the firm has sustained long-lasting relationships with its clients—a testament to the successful results that Seyfarth's attorneys have achieved consistently for them over time.
