Overview
Sau Legal's Employment Law practice represents both employers and employees in the full range of workplace legal matters. We understand that employment disputes are often deeply personal and can have significant financial and reputational consequences for all parties involved. Our attorneys bring sensitivity, discretion, and aggressive advocacy to every engagement.
We advise on preventive strategies that minimize litigation risk, and when disputes arise, we litigate with the preparation and intensity needed to achieve the best possible outcome.
Workplace Disputes
Our team handles discrimination claims based on race, gender, age, disability, religion, and national origin under Title VII, the ADA, the ADEA, and state equivalents. We represent clients in wrongful termination cases, retaliation claims, hostile work environment matters, and whistleblower proceedings. Our attorneys have extensive experience before the EEOC, state human rights commissions, and in federal and state courts.
Executive Compensation
We negotiate and draft executive employment agreements, severance packages, equity compensation plans, and change-of-control arrangements. Our practice covers Section 409A compliance, golden parachute provisions, clawback policies, and deferred compensation structures. We represent both companies designing compensation programs and executives negotiating their terms.
Regulatory Compliance
Employment regulation touches every aspect of the employer-employee relationship. We advise on wage and hour compliance under the FLSA and state laws, FMLA administration, OSHA requirements, I-9 verification, and employee classification issues. Our team also helps employers develop compliant workplace policies, conduct internal investigations, and respond to government audits and enforcement actions.
