Littler Mendelson

Practice/Organization Description

Today's litigious environment and constantly changing regulatory landscape raise extraordinary questions and risks for employers.

We have the answers. Founded in 1942 by the head of California's War Labor Board, the law firm of Littler Mendelson has always served the needs of the nation's employers. Over the last sixty-plus years, we have been business' strongest advocate, curbing union abuse when labor was at its height, and now, standing with employers as they face the onslaughts of governmental regulation, an aggressive plaintiffs' bar, and a resurgent labor movement.

Littler offers today's employers more options than ever. With more than 700 attorneys strategically located in 45 offices, and a practice that extends into every area and sub-area of workplace law, we have the ability to provide rapid, integrated solutions for any corporate compliance, labor, employment, or benefits issue. Our employment litigation practice is the nation's largest. We routinely defend many of the world's largest employers, and just as routinely derail high-stakes litigation. In the last five years, our Appellate Group has concluded 50 cases that have changed, or reaffirmed, employment workplace law to the benefit of business. And every day, in novel ways, large and small, we make it easier for our clients to go about their business, without having to worry about the business of workplace law. Class Action, Employee Benefits, Workplace Safety, Trade Secrets, and other practice groups concentrate the Firm's considerable resources and experience in the areas where employers face the greatest challenges and highest stakes. Preventative programs, such as Class Action Audits, rectify problems before they develop into lawsuits.
