Morgan Lewis issued the following announcement on June 28.
“We are excited to welcome a senior, experienced employment litigator to our deep labor and employment team in California,” Firm Chair Jami McKeon said. “Michael’s representation of clients in their most sophisticated employment disputes matches well with the scope of our practice in the financial services, technology, insurance, and retail sectors in Northern California, in particular.”
Michael’s practice spans a wide range of employment disputes, including class actions asserting multimillion dollars in damages, complex single-plaintiff matters, and high-stakes noncompete and trade secrets disputes arising from a variety of industries, including life sciences, technology, retail, and financial services, throughout the United States. He also regularly advises clients on independent contractor status matters; wage and hour issues; Private Attorneys General Act lawsuits; and disputes alleging wrongful termination, discrimination, harassment, retaliation, and compensation matters.
“The California employment legal landscape has seen many changes stemming from the pandemic and regulatory and legislative updates,” said Grace Speights, head of Morgan Lewis’s global labor and employment practice. “Michael will join a team of 80 labor and employment lawyers across five California offices to help companies manage the state’s increasingly complex legal, compliance, and human resources challenges.”
