Rivera Employment Law is a law firm based in the heart of Los Angeles that focuses on providing advice and counsel to employers of all sizes and across industries throughout the state of California.. What Sets Us Apart. Unlike most law firms, we focus exclusively on providing advice and counsel, and not handling litigation. This means that we focus 100% of our time on providing legal solutions before workplace issues ever get to litigation. The fact of the matter is that many litigation firms, even if well-versed in employment law defense, are not always well equipped to guide employers on California’s minefield of labor laws. Rather, their focus is on putting out fires and minimizing liability after there has already been a breakdown in workplace practices or policies that lead to lawsuits.. We focus on identifying problems and offering solutions long before it ever gets to that point. Whether it is by making sure your employee handbook and personnel policies are up-to-date and compliant with the law, rewriting your employee agreements to make them as airtight as possible, or conducting workplace investigations of employee complaints to resolve disputes, we do everything possible to significantly minimize the risk of ever getting sued in the first place.. “Big Law Firm” Service At A Fraction Of The Price. Rivera Employment Law’s principal and founder, Kevin Rivera, started his employment law career at Sheppard, Mullin, Richter & Hampton, in one of the largest and most prestigious labor and employment practices in the country. During his seven years at Sheppard Mullin, he represented and advised employers of all sizes—ranging from Fortune 100 companies to high tech and traditional business start-ups—in all aspects of employment law counseling and litigation.. The fact that Rivera Employment Law focuses exclusively on providing advice and counsel and not on handling litigation is reflected in our rates. Not going to court means not having to hire a stable of support staff, paralegals and junior attorneys, which enables us to keep our rates lean. All of this means you get first class “big law firm” service and experience at a fraction of big law firm rates.. Experience That Matters. Rivera Employment Law’s principal and founder, Kevin Rivera, has over ten years of experience in representing employers in all aspects of litigation, providing advice and counsel on employment law issues, and working as a workplace investigator.. Kevin obtained his law degree from the University of California, Berkeley, in 2006. He then worked as counsel in the employment law practice group at Sheppard, Mullin, Richter & Hampton in the firm’s Los Angeles office, where he represented and advised employers of all sizes and across industries prior to founding Rivera Employment Law.. Kevin’s practice focuses on advising, training, auditing and investigating workplaces to ensure compliance with federal, state, and local laws. He advises employers in all aspects of employment law, reviews and drafts personnel policies and documents, investigates workplace complaints, represents employers in administrative hearings, and audits workplaces for compliance issues. His clients include those in high tech and life science industries, construction, banking, hospitality and service industries, insurance, and even other law firms.. Kevin is a member of the Association of Workplace Investigators. He has authored numerous articles on employment law that have been published by organizations such as the California State Bar and the Los Angeles County Bar Association. He was featured on the cover of the March 2018 issue of Los Angeles Lawyer Magazine.. When he is not working, Kevin enjoys trying out Los Angeles’s various vegan dining establishments, relaxing in Palm Springs on the weekends, and spending time with his family.

In my mind every case is unique. That is because each client is unique and  he or she has  his or her  own mindset which is different than everyone else.  My number one focus at the beginning of each case is to really get to know my client. I have the ability to set aside my lawyer's hat and focus on discovering what does my client really want to achieve and what paths he or she is comfortable in taking to reach those objectives. From that point on I will then focus on studying the adversaries because in my long term experience as an attorney, on many occassions  there are number of personal and individual issues fueling the conflict beyond the facts of the case at hand. Once I know my client and the opposing side's mindset and motives, I can then easily takle the factual and legal issues of each case and can come up with creative and efficient strategies to accomplish my client's goals and objectives.

Fortune 500 and small business clients, as well as state and local entities, rely on me for my industry knowledge, aggressive advocacy and practical advice.  I have served as national, regional and local counsel for a variety of businesses (as well as governmental entities), who depend on my ability to handle complex commercial litigation in state and federal courts, at both the trial and appellate levels in a cost-effective, results-oriented manner.   As the first college-educated member of my family and the daughter of two small-business owners, I appreciate the challenges companies face remaining competitive in a rapidly changing business environment without running afoul of state and federal laws and regulations. I focus on helping clients solve their problems based on their goals defined at the outset of a matter—not meeting some billable-hour requirement comprised of unnecessary tasks billed out in six-minute increments.  I pride myself on efficiency—and my staunch commitment to delivering top-notch services and results on complex commercial litigation matters at a fair, reasonable price.  Clients describe me as a “brilliant strategist,” “excellent communicator,” “cracker jack” and a “value for the money.” In the trial court arena, I have achieved early dismissal at the pleading stage over 75% of the time.  I also have never had a class certified against any of my clients.  I am currently 6-0. In the appellate arena, I have won 80% of my appeals (including the ones that have made their way to the U.S. Supreme Court).  Most recently, I first chaired a nearly two-month-long harassment case brought against California’s Department of Parks and Recreation concerning allegations of sexual discrimination and harassment based on an employee’s sexual orientation, which resulted in an extremely favorable outcome for my client.
