About Matthew Kane

I am a Co-Leader of BakerHostetler's national Employment/Wage & Hour Class Actions practice team. For three decades, as a lawyer in private practice and in-house counsel for a Fortune 50 company, I have been providing clients with proactive, pragmatic and cutting-edge strategies for preventing, resolving and defending employment and other business disputes and issues. I am passionate about delivering exceptional client service and work product and finding the shortest and most cost-effective path to a positive outcome for my clients, however they may define that. I have been recognized as a West Trailblazer by The American Lawyer, a BTI Consulting Client Service All Star MVP, a Lawdragon 500 Leading U.S. Corporate Employment Lawyer, a Human Resources Executive Most Powerful Employment Lawyer, and a Chambers-rated lawyer for Labor & Employment – California. I represent businesses in preventing, litigating and resolving employment-related claims, including wage and hour class and collective actions, California Labor Code Private Attorney General Act (PAGA) representative actions, misappropriation of trade secrets and non-competition agreement claims, and labor-management relations issues. I have significant experience representing clients in the financial services, food and beverage, hospitality, manufacturing, real estate services, retail, transportation, and third-party logistics and distribution industries. I previously served as in-house counsel for the Kroger Co. In that role, I managed all employment-related and consumer compliance issues and litigation involving the approximately 35,000 employees, 500 retail stores, three distribution centers and four manufacturing and food processing plants of Kroger divisions located in California, Nevada, Illinois and Indiana. Clients consistently commend my candid and pragmatic advice and counsel as I guide them through the complex landscape of employment-related issues to workable, efficient solutions. For over a decade, I served as lead national wage and hour class action defense counsel for one of the largest financial institutions in the United States, and I serve in similar roles nationally and regionally for clients in other industries. My practice is national in scope, representing clients in courts throughout the United States, including in California, Illinois, Kansas, Maryland, Massachusetts, Nevada, New Jersey, New York, Tennessee, Texas, Washington and Wisconsin.
