A Focus on Preventing Litigation

For a business owner, prevention of employment-related litigation is vitally important. A business must stay focused on profitability and growth. Owners cannot afford to be dragged into lengthy lawsuits on a regular basis.

Sullivan Taketa LLP helps businesses avoid legal conflicts with employees before claims and litigation have a chance to develop. Based on decades of experience as corporate counsel for major corporations, our attorneys are able to offer a perspective in the area of employment law that is sensitive to the unique needs and concerns of management. We deliver the comprehensive, preventative employment-related legal counsel that our clients need and expect.

Sometimes, however, investigations and lawsuits are unavoidable. Our California employer rights attorneys are skilled at building strong defenses for employers. We enforce arbitration agreements and take action to protect employers' rights with regard to confidentiality agreements and covenants not to compete, among other issues.

Our Employer Rights Attorneys Are Available as Cumis Counsel, Co-Counsel or Independent Counsel

Sullivan Taketa LLP provides consulting services on management and employers' rights to other attorneys and law firms as needed.
