About Marlene Muraco

I am a seasoned employment litigator, with twenty-five years’ experience successfully defending employers against the full panoply of employment law claims including wrongful termination, discrimination, harassment, invasion of privacy, and alleged violations of state and federal employee leave laws. The primary focus of my practice is on class actions, with particular emphasis on wage and hour claims arising under California law and the Fair Labor Standards Act (this includes claims for overtime, unpaid meal and rest periods and misclassification of employees and contractors). I also regularly advise employers on practical, thorough compliance with employment and labor law, with a focus on employers’ operational and strategic needs. In addition to serving as outside counsel to employers, I have extensive experience working as a key part of a company’s internal HR/Legal function. This experience has given me a unique understanding of our clients' business and legal needs and allowed me to develop and implement practical solutions to complex legal issues . For example, from 2001 to 2008, I spent two days a week on-site in the employee relations department of a Silicon Valley Fortune 100 technology company providing legal advice and practical guidance on employment issues to the company’s human resources and employee relations staff. In addition, I regularly provide management training for clients on all aspects of employment law, including managing within the law, sexual harassment prevention and response, leaves of absence, and termination without liability. I am a partner in the Silicon Valley office of Littler Mendelson. Littler, with over 900 attorneys and 55 offices, has the nation’s largest employment litigation practice.
