About Laura
Biography
I have an extensive litigation practice, with an emphasis on employment claims involving race, sex, religion and disability discrimination claims, wrongful discharge, and failure to accommodate. I have also handled a variety of wage and hour matters, including wage and hour class actions. My practice also involves the business side of employment matters, and I have litigated trade secret and non-compete claims.
In addition to my litigation background, much of my practice is dedicated to advising clients on how to best train their managers and employees, and identifying and helping to resolve workplace concerns as they arise. This includes but is not limited to helping clients navigate the ever changing landscape of federal, state and local leave laws.
I have presented on these and many other topics to clients individually and at legal seminars. I have also authored articles on many of these topics. I was previously the chair of the Labor and Employment Practice Group for a large Seattle law firm. Additionally, I have my Yellow Belt certification in Legal Lean Sigma® and Project Management. I am proud to have received accolades from Chambers USA’s Guide to America’s Leading Lawyers for Business, which listed me as a “Leading Lawyer,” and as a “Rising Star” by Super Lawyers® magazine.
All of this experience has equipped me to provide clients the very best in legal services. I look forward to assisting you with your legal needs.
