James McMullen

I am a partner in Gordon & Rees’s San Diego, Orange County and Los Angeles offices. For nine years, I led the firm’s Labor & Employment practice group in Southern California, which now has more than 70 attorneys located in offices in San Diego, Orange County, and Los Angeles. I am also the coordinator of the OSHA and Cal-OSHA practice groups at Gordon & Rees, and have successfully handled NLRB, OSHA, and DOL proceedings for national clients throughout the United States. I am an experienced trial lawyer in all areas of employment law, in addition to litigating significant and complex non-employment matters. I represent a wide range of clients in the maritime, transportation, manufacturing, high-tech and construction industries. Additionally, I have tried several aviation related cases. In addition to my litigation and agency practice, I assist employers with various types of compliance programs and routinely develop employee relations strategies for specialized industries and coordinate the implementation, administration and review of such strategies. I have also provided WARN and reduction-in-force counseling to various national and international clients. I currently serve as a Judge Pro-Tem and a State and County Bar Fee Arbitrator, and am admitted to the American Board of Trial Advocates (ABOTA).
