Peter Choi

Peter’s area of expertise is in wage and hour class actions and PAGA representative actions. He has litigated and successfully resolved numerous class action and PAGA cases, including through contested class certification and other dispositive motions. His experience includes defeating class certification on behalf of putative classes involving thousands of employees and resolving matters on an individual basis where plaintiffs asserted seven- and eight-figure demands.

The depth of Peter’s experience has enabled him to obtain favorable results for his clients, including before litigation ensues. To that end, he maintains an extensive advice and counsel practice where he proactively advises clients on wage and hour compliance to minimize the risk of litigation. He also routinely represents clients in administrative proceedings, including audits brought by the Department of Labor and California Labor Commissioner. Peter has also been interviewed and quoted in various legal publications, including Law360 and Bloomberg Law, to offer his insight on significant wage and hour developments.

Peter represents clients ranging from small family-owned businesses to Fortune 500 and Fortune 1,000 corporations across a wide range of industries, including hospitality, healthcare, transportation, ambulance providers, and car dealerships.

In addition to his wage and hour practice, Peter also regularly defends his clients against claims of discrimination, retaliation, harassment, and wrongful termination, and provides advice and counsel services regarding proposed employee discipline, terminations and protected leaves of absence.
