California is a crazy place to do business. Its myriad labor and employment laws contribute substantially to that chaos.  As a business owner or executive, you need sound, reliable and accurate legal advice that will keep your company out of court, and keep your employees and managers focused on your business, not wasting time interacting with more lawyers.. Don't allow your business to become a victim of the predatory plaintiffs' bar. Make sure your business complies with wage and hour regulations, anti-harassment/anti-discrimination training requirements and documentation and reporting obligations.  Call me and let me help you navigate the legal minefield that is the California business environment.. If you or your company have been sued, no one will defend your company more aggressively than I will.  We work with many major insurers who underwrite Employment Practices Liability Insurance ("EPLI") policies.  Call me, set up a meeting, and I am sure you will want me in your corner fighting for you every round.. Best,. Dan
