Jonathan Werner

I represent management in a variety of labor and employment law matters, including wrongful termination, harassment, discrimination, wage and hour, retaliation and breach of contract. I represent employers in both state and federal court as well as before state and federal agencies, including the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, the U.S. Department of Labor, the National Labor Relations Board, the California Department of Fair Employment & Housing, the California Division of Labor Standards Enforcement and the Nevada Equal Rights Commission.I also regularly counsel employers regarding terminations, disciplinary matters, harassment and discrimination complaints and legal compliance with the many federal, state and local laws and regulations that define the employment relationship. I have conducted numerous in-house management seminars and training sessions for executives, supervisors and human resources professionals in all aspects of labor and employment law. In addition, I have extensive experience drafting employment agreements, severance agreements, employee handbooks and other employment policies.I am a magna cum laude graduate of the University of California at Berkeley, where I earned a B.A. in Chinese History and a minor in German Language. I received my law degree from Duke University School of Law in 2001, where I was Year-In-Review Editor of the Alaska Law Review. While in law school, I also served as a law clerk to the Hon. Haley J. Fromholz in the Superior Court of Los Angeles County. Prior to entering private practice, I interned with the Washington, D.C. field office of the United States Equal Employment Opportunity Commission.Specialties: Labor and employment law
