Employment

Artiano Shinoff’s employment practice area focuses on a wide range of legal issues that can expose management, as well as employees, to undue risk and potential loss. Attorneys offer practical counseling and advice for each client, with a special emphasis on increasing workplace efficiency through preventive counsel – a critical, proven method for avoiding costly litigation. We help companies draft and implement handbooks, policies, and procedures to ensure legal compliance.

Clients include companies of all sizes, both public and private, ranging from start-ups to Fortune 500. Our attorneys develop and conduct training programs and workshops on a variety of topics including legal updates, compliance with health and safety obligations, hiring practices, prevention of workplace violence, preparation of employee handbooks and personnel policies, wrongful termination, family leave, ADA, discrimination and harassment.

When litigating a case becomes the only option, the firm approaches each case in an efficient, aggressive and effective manner, and has an excellent record of results in state, federal and appellate courts, as well as before administrative agencies including the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), Department of Fair Employment and Housing (DFEH) and the Office for Civil Rights (OCR).
