About Sarju
Biography
Sarju Naran is a Partner and the Chair of Hoge Fenton Jones & Appel’s Employment Law Group. His experience spans from representing small, family-owned businesses to multi-national and high profile publicly-traded companies. He regularly litigates claims of trade secret misappropriation, workforce raiding, unfair competition, wrongful termination, harassment, discrimination, retaliation, wage and hour violations, and other high risk matters.
Sarju is a zealous advocate for his clients, and approaches litigation with creativity and strategy. He also appreciates that litigation can be an unwelcome distraction to business operations, and often comes at a high financial and emotional cost. As such, Sarju is committed to representing his clients with an eye toward prevention, compliance, mitigation, and efficiency.
After spending the first five years of his practice with Hoge Fenton, Sarju was an associate with Paul Hastings Janofsky & Walker, LLP in Palo Alto for four years before rejoining Hoge Fenton in May 2010.
