Boards of directors, CEOs and general counsel regularly seek out the expertise of the Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher LLP labor and employment practice. Its experience includes wage-and-hour class actions, employment discrimination cases, whistleblower litigation, executive compensation, exit negotiations and trade secret litigation. The practice is jointly led by Jason Schwartz in the Washington DC office and Katherine Smith in Los Angeles. Schwartz is highly regarded for his involvement in sensitive workplace investigations, high-profile trade secret matters and wage-hour class actions. Smith is highly experienced in class action litigation at the trial court and appellate level. Former US Secretary of Labor Eugene Scalia is a key name in the group for matters under the NLRA, as well as class actions and collective actions under Title VII. Molly Senger brings significant experience in defending clients against employment-related putative class actions and high-stakes executive compensation disputes to the team.
