Employers Need Every Edge They Can Get

Employees think employers have all the power, but that is not true. For starters, employers are often playing defense and reacting to fast-moving events. You have to worry not only about the situation at hand but also the company’s bottom line and the impact of adverse publicity.

The civil trial firm of Schroeder Schaff & Low provides defense counsel to businesses and nonprofits in Sacramento and throughout California. Our proactive approach can help you troubleshoot employment conflicts and determine the course of action that will best protect your interests. We are true trial lawyers who prepare for court and – unlike many defense firms – regularly try cases to verdict.

Employment Law For California Employers

California is known for its strong employee protections, which makes it all the more important to mount a prompt and sophisticated defense when conflicts arise. Our full-service approach includes the capacity for workplace investigations of complaints, risk management consulting, dispute resolution and employment litigation.

Our lawyers have experience with the whole spectrum of employment law matters, including lawsuits or allegations of:

  • Sexual harassment or a hostile working environment
  • Employment discrimination (Title VII, Fair Employment and Housing Act)
  • Whistleblower retaliation
  • Wrongful termination
  • ADA defense (disability accommodations)
  • PAGA labor violations
  • Wage and hour claims
  • Defamation
  • Professional liability
  • Workers’ compensation defense and subrogation recovery
  • Noncompete and nondisclosure agreements
  • Class actions

Our clients range from small businesses, professional associations, construction contractors and nonprofit corporations to railroads, trucking firms, insurance carriers and other national and international companies.

A Highly Qualified Defense Team

Our trial lawyers have decades of collective experience, including jury verdicts in employment litigation in federal and state courts across California. We have represented plaintiffs as well as defendants in our civil litigation practice, which enables us to gauge the merits of allegations and strategize accordingly. Our emphasis is proactive resolution to minimize exposure for our clients, but we also signal clearly that we will vigorously defend our clients in court and will not be pressured to settle just to make the matter “go away.” Read more about our attorneys’ credentials in employment law and business and civil litigation.
