About Karina Sterman
I am a partner in the Litigation and Employment Law Departments of Greenberg Glusker. A creative and ardent advocate for my clients, I defend businesses in class action lawsuits as well as in discrimination, harassment, wrongful termination and other lawsuits. I also defend companies in administrative proceedings in front of the EEOC, Department of Labor, California Labor Commissioner and others. I have significant experience in “behind the scenes” counseling on wage and hour and other employment law compliance, drafting employment related documents, and participating in business minded employment strategy to avoid litigation and costly long-term mistakes. I regularly perform HR legal audits and build trade secret protection plans for businesses that wish to maximize the value of their investment in their intellectual property. In addition to being a published author and frequent guest speaker on employment law and intellectual property matters, I am proud to maintain a Martindale-Hubbell peer review rating of AV Preeminent. I am also honored to have been recognized by my peers for many years as a Rising Star and then as a Super Lawyer in the Field of Employment Law, as published by LOS ANGELES magazine. Representative Defense Matters • Obtained full summary judgment win for a Southern California parts manufacturer in a wrongful discrimination and harassment case which resulted in award of costs for the employer. • Defended and tried on behalf of several Beverly Hills luxury retail companies in multi-party employment contract lawsuit and won full defense jury verdict. • Obtained summary judgment win for California professional services company in a complex sex harassment, discrimination and wrongful termination lawsuit. • Negotiated numerous speedy and very favorable class action settlements for hospitality and restaurant employers in complex, multi-location wage and hour lawsuits in which hourly workers alleged failure to pay wages and overtime.
