Sat Sang Khalsa focuses on complex employment disputes in the context of California Wage and Hour Class Action defense in both California and the U.S. District Courts. The California Labor Code provides the most rigorous employee-friendly protections in the Nation, and the risk and cost of non-compliance to employers of all sizes can be catastrophic. However, there are tools available to employers – including early consultation with counsel, arbitration agreements, and policy and practice reviews. Sat Sang specializes in identifying drivers of risk and developing strategies and leverage points that enable clients to litigate and negotiate an optimal outcome. The work of identifying risk is best done before a case is ever filed, and Sat Sang appreciates the opportunity to provide advice and counsel to clients who want to comply and need the expertise and options to choose the course that works for their business. Once a case is filed – it is critical to develop an early strategy and identify inflection points that can shape the direction of the case. Ninety plus percent of all California Wage and Hour Class Actions are resolved through negotiation, and Sat Sang specializes in working with the client team to identify the strengths and weaknesses of a case at an early stage to build a successful resolution strategy that works for the client.
