For over 25 years, Greg has been at the forefront of defending employers in high-stakes class and collective actions and other complex employment disputes, with particular experience navigating California’s challenging employment litigation environment. He has successfully argued before state and federal courts across the country, and secured the dismissal of class actions in dozens of high-profile and highly consequential matters.
Greg is particularly recognized for his work defending wage-and-hour class actions and claims brought under California’s Private Attorneys General Act (PAGA), as well as significant disputes involving California employment law, sexual harassment, and the enforcement of arbitration agreements. Clients turn to him not only for his litigation experience, but also for his ability to quickly identify the issues that matter most and develop strategies designed to maximize their position.
Greg’s clients include leading entertainment companies, prominent retailers, professional sports leagues, financial and professional services firms, technology companies, transportation providers, and healthcare organizations. Through this work, Greg has become a trusted advisor to both Los Angeles-based businesses and national companies confronting the complexities of operating and litigating in California.
