Firm OVerview

Keeping up with California’s ever-evolving employment law landscape is no small task, particularly for small businesses and household employers who are not equipped to absorb the frequent legal changes impacting their operations. This can expose businesses to liability, which can be both costly and nerve-racking. More importantly, it can consume valuable resources that would otherwise be devoted to growing a thriving business.

Over the course of her nearly eighteen years in practice, including as a litigator in both state and federal courts, Tal has developed the unique expertise needed to guide businesses, large and small, in implementing workplace policies that comply with applicable law and ensure that workers are treated fairly. In the caregiving industry, for example, many private employers are unaware of the labor laws governing this unique type of domestic employment relationship. The misclassification of workers as independent contractors is another minefield for employers who may be unaware of the current regulations governing worker classification in California. Moreover, the COVID-19 pandemic has given birth to a myriad of legislation impacting employer obligations on the federal, state and local level.

Through her vast experience in private practice, combined with her continual review of the latest legal trends and updates, Tal has acquired the skills and experience needed to create employee policies that are carefully tailored to meet the particular business needs of her diverse clientele. She counsels her clients on best practices ranging from employee onboarding to workplace training requirements and is routinely called upon to offer advice relating to the employee separation process, including the negotiation of severance packages aimed at protecting businesses against future claims by departing employees.

Tal maintains an open and direct line of communication with her clients, who often find themselves navigating uncharted territory in the workplace and who thus require prompt and reliable advice from trusted legal counsel. Tal offers candid and practical support, without the fanfare that can be observed when working with larger law firms. Tal enjoys working alongside her clients to help achieve their goals, minimize risk and form trusted and lasting attorney-client relationships.
