Labor and Employment

NB provides dedicated counsel to California employers on all aspects of labor and employment law. We partner with businesses of all sizes to navigate the complex and ever-evolving regulatory landscape, helping them minimize risk, maintain compliance, and foster positive workplace environments.

Our proactive services include drafting comprehensive employee handbooks and workplace policies, implementing compliant wage and hour practices, developing performance management systems, and providing strategic guidance on hiring, discipline, and employee terminations. We work closely with clients to ensure compliance with federal and California-specific requirements, including the Fair Employment and Housing Act (FEHA), California Labor Code, Wage Orders, and the Private Attorneys General Act (PAGA).

When disputes arise, we vigorously defend employers in litigation and administrative proceedings involving wage and hour claims, harassment, discrimination, retaliation, wrongful termination, PAGA actions, and class or collective actions. Our experienced team focuses on achieving efficient, cost-effective resolutions while protecting our clients’ reputations and operational goals.

By combining preventive strategies with strong advocacy, NB helps employers reduce exposure, resolve workplace issues effectively, and focus on growing their businesses with confidence.

Over the years, the attorneys for N&B have prepared executive employment agreements, employee confidentiality agreements, and employment separation agreements. Whenever I have an employment question, I feel confident calling upon N&B.
