Brett received his BA in Philosophy from the University of California, Los Angeles, and his Juris Doctorate from the University of California, Hastings College of the Law. At Hastings, he was a member of the Hastings International and Comparative Law Review, and received the American Jurisprudence Award in Legal Writing and Research. He also received the CALI Award for Excellence as the top student in Trial Advocacy. He has twice been selected by Thompson/Reuters Super Lawyers as a Rising Star in the areas of Labor and Employment Law, an honor reserved for only the top 2 1/2% of attorneys in the state during their first 10 years of practice, as determined by their peers.Since 1998, Brett has worked at firms specializing in domestic and international transactional work and civil litigation. He started his career working on product liability cases. In that capacity, he assisted in the representation of plaintiffs with malignant mesothelioma caused by exposure to asbestos. One of these ultimately settled his case for what was, at the time, the largest single plaintiff pre-trial settlement in history. His work in developing the case for liability and damages against one of the largest privately held companies in the country has been utilized by numerous firms throughout the United States to obtain multi-million dollar Plaintiff's verdicts.Since 2000, Brett has handled litigation involving employment, business, real estate, securities fraud, intellectual property, trade libel and other forms of defamation, landlord-tenant disputes and professional malpractice. His practice has ranged from small landlord-tenant, contract and wage disputes with as little as $10,000 at issue, to multi-million dollar securities fraud, RICO, unfair business practices and intellectual property suits. In 2003, he helped to obtain a $4.7 million arbitration award in a multi-forum international theft of trade secret case. In 2004, he represented a textile designer against more than two dozen of the largest retailers in the world in more than 40 federal copyright violation cases.. Brett has successfully assisted plaintiffs and defendants in both the public and private sector in sexual harassment, race and gender discrimination and wage & hour suits. He began representing workers seeking to collect unpaid overtime wages as a member of the Hastings Civil Justice Clinic in 1997. Since then, he has recovered unpaid wages for numerous plaintiffs, from minimum wage earners through high level executives owed in excess of $75,000 in bonuses alone. He has also represented both plaintiffs and defendants in representative wage actions under California's unfair business practices law and Labor Code § 2699, which permits aggrieved employees to seek recovery on behalf of all similarly situated employees of a company. He has experience in federal and state courts, and in a number of different alternative dispute resolution forums.. In recent years, Brett has also successfully handled several high-value judgment enforcement actions, and has obtained positive rulings in appeals brought before both state and federal Courts of Appeal.Brett is a member of the State Bar of California, and the Labor & Employment section of the California State Bar. He is admitted to practice before the courts of California, the United States District Court, Central District of California and the Ninth Cicuit Court of Appeals. He is a co-author of Advanced Legal Drafting for California Paralegals (2001), and the author of GAF Corporation: The Case for Liability and Punitive Damages, published by the 2000 Plaintiff's Asbestos Lawyers Seminar.

Firm: Markson Pico LLP
515 S. Flower Street , Los Angeles , California 90071
Practice Areas: Employment & Labor
Brett Markson does not shy away from challenging cases. In 2012, Mr. Markson argued and convinced the California appellate court to recognize a new legal claim to protect his client and others who otherwise had no protection under California law. The result achieved is so unusual that in the October 2012 edition of the Orange County Lawyer magazine a commentator wrote, “The addition of a common law tort to our law is a stellar event almost as rare as the return of Halley’s comet.” (The new legal claim is now known as “Intentional Interference with Expected Inheritance” and the case is Beckwith v. Dahl (2012) 205 1039.). These days, Mr. Markson focuses on employment lawsuits including wrongful termination, sexual harassment, discrimination, retaliation, wage/payroll claims, etc. Mr. Markson exclusively represents workers and employees.. Mr. Markson received his Law Degree from Hastings College of the Law in 1991 and his Bachelor’s Degree from University of California San Diego in 1987. Having started as a prosecutor with the San Diego City Attorney's office, Mr. Markson remains ready and willing to try his cases to a jury.. Before forming Markson Pico LLP in 2005, Mr. Markson practiced as a litigator for the national law firm of Robins, Kaplan, Miller & Ciresi LLP and (the now-defunct) Bronson, Bronson & McKinnon LLP. He has represented numerous large, national and Fortune 500 companies in cases involving complex issues of state and federal law. While at the big firms, Mr. Markson handled a wide-range of business litigation, including real estate matters, insurance, employment, wage & hour class actions, product liability, intellectual property litigation, celebrity right-of-publicity matters, partnership disputes and more.. "My experience and training as a former prosecutor and former 'big firm' lawyer provide me with a unique advantage in civil cases. I'm tough with insurance carriers but I don't overreach. I can discuss technical points of law with a judge, but also speak plain English to a jury. Most important, I know how critical it is to be fully prepared for trial. My clients win because I listen, I care and I come prepared," says Markson.. Mr. Markson started his own firm in 2001 before joining forces with Tim Pico (another former Robins, Kaplan, Miller & Ciresi colleague) to form Markson Pico LLP. Mr. Markson is licensed to practice before all California state and federal courts. He is a member of the California Employment Lawyers Association, Trial Lawyers for Public Justice, Consumer Attorneys of California, Consumer Attorneys Association of Los Angeles, Association of Trial Lawyers of America, Santa Clarita Valley Bar Association, and Los Angeles County Bar Association. Mr. Markson was selected for inclusion in 2010 Southern California Super Lawyers, and received a perfect score "10.0" under AVVO--both indicators of peer recognition and professional achievement..
