Sarah guides clients through labor and employment strategies that will keep them in compliance with the law—and make them the best employers possible. She practices from San Diego.
Sarah’s true passion is educating clients, helping them develop compliance plans, and enabling them to effect positive change for their employees. She sees herself as just as much of a teacher as she is an attorney: her goal is to help clients understand employment laws and their implications so that they can implement best practices and do the right thing for their employees. She’s known not only for her intelligence, legal acumen, and work ethic, but also for her kindness and her gift for explaining complex legal concepts. First drawn to law and to her practice area by her interest in economic development, Sarah understands how important clients’ businesses are to them, to their workers, and to their communities, and she values the opportunity to help clients ensure that their organizations are excellent places to work.
At the beginning of her career, Sarah devoted two years to clerkships in the district courts and worked at a boutique appellate firm. While she no longer litigates, her early experience means that she is extremely well-versed in civil procedure and understands the nuances of litigation well. Her background gives her an inside perspective on where employment practices can go wrong and what proactive steps clients can take to stay out of court. She has previously defended clients in a variety of employment matters, including allegations of discrimination, harassment, and retaliation; wage and hour violations; and wrongful termination.
