Paloma represents manufacturers and other private companies in a wide variety of business disputes, including product and premises liability, personal injury, and employment claims. She is particularly experienced in employment law, including wage and hour class actions, PAGA representative actions, discrimination and harassment allegations, and wrongful termination matters.
As a California-based employment attorney, Paloma works regularly with alleged violations of the California Fair Employment and Housing Act (FEHA). She also routinely handles personal injury, product liability, and premises liability cases involving catastrophic injuries.
Paloma also has experience defending clients in data privacy litigation, including individual and class claims arising under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and California Invasion of Privacy Act (CIPA). She represents businesses facing allegations related to the use of website cookies, pixels, session replay technology, chat functionality, and other digital marketing tools that may implicate state privacy laws.
Paloma thrives on complex cases and enjoys collaborating with expert witnesses on highly technical issues. Although she assists clients across the country, her primary focus is on California-related issues for both national and international companies.
Paloma prepares each case with the diligence and thoroughness expected if it were to proceed to verdict. Her goal is for clients to never feel forced to accept a less-than-ideal settlement, and she builds solid defenses that mean clients never need to fear trial. Even when she works on massive, multi-year cases, the focus is always on how each decision and piece of evidence will influence an eventual trial strategy.
As a young attorney, Paloma knew she had a gift for managing conflict and collaborating with different personalities. This made litigation a natural fit, and she began her legal career litigating for plaintiffs—an experience that continues to shape her practice. Paloma understands how plaintiffs’ counsel thinks and operates, as well as the concerns that drive their decisions, and she builds her legal strategies accordingly.
Paloma became part of Husch Blackwell in 2024 to support the growth of the firm’s San Diego office. With more than ten years of litigation experience, she has extensive knowledge of judges and regional regulations, which makes her an invaluable resource in California courtrooms. Known for building close, long-term relationships with clients, Paloma prioritizes open communication so that clients are fully informed and intrinsically involved in strategic development.
