We also provide training on a wide range of subjects, including maintaining a workplace free of harassment and discrimination, and effective hiring and discipline.
Litigation
The Employment Law Group's trial lawyers represent management in employment disputes in state and federal court, both at the trial and appellate levels, and before federal and state administrative agencies such as the EEOC, the NLRB, the Department of Fair Employment & Housing, the Department of Labor, and the Department of Industrial Relations.
Federal Sector EEO
The Employment Law Group provides EEO services to federal agencies administering a complaint process. Our lawyers ensure that agency complaint procedures protect the rights of any party who utilizes the process through its legal sufficiency reviews and provision of complete and impartial individual and class action investigations, management inquiries, EEO counseling, mediation, conciliations, final agency decisions, and settlement agreement and EEOC order enforcements. We also train agency management and line employees on rights and obligations under all laws, statutes, regulations and Executive Orders that impact the public sector workforce and environment.
ADA Compliance and Defense
The Employment Law Group has special expertise in handling cases alleging violations of Title III of the Americans with Disabilities Act which seek statutory damages for alleged violations of the ADA. Our lawyers' ADA experience also includes website accessibility claims brought by persons with visual disabilities and website content claims brought by persons with mobility disabilities. In addition, we have defended service animal cases as well as comfort animal claims brought pursuant to the federal Fair Housing Act and California’s Fair Employment and Housing Act. We have also defended personal injury actions involving all of the aforementioned disability access laws. Our experience includes representation of both landlords and tenants in disability access cases involving all types of businesses, including many retail and hospitality clients, nationwide.
Immigration Services & Compliance Support
The Employment Law Group assists clients and management in compliance with federal immigration laws and regulations, and helps to fulfill employment goals and needs by obtaining work-related visas. We also provide effective, result-oriented litigation services in appeals and deportation hearings at the administrative and federal court levels.
Cost-Effective Results
The Group focuses on early and realistic assessment of case risks so that resources are allocated wisely and money spent only where it can do the most good. Our well-publicized winning track record in high exposure cases against the best lawyers affords the Group’s litigators the credibility necessary to achieve advantageous and discounted settlements.
Pre-Trial Practice Philosophy
- Effective representation at trial is often the product of an effective pre-trial practice.
- Strategically planned and well-crafted motions can resolve the case before trial.
- Motions can pare down the issues to be tried and allow for the strategic removal (or inclusion) of portions of the case which may assist a jury in rendering a verdict in the client’s favor.
Wage-and-Hour Class Actions
Devoted exclusively to representing management, the Employment Law Group has successfully defended many wage-and-hour class, collective and representative actions in numerous industries, including successfully defeating class certification in wage-and-hour class actions on numerous occasions. Our wage-and-hour class action expertise includes all phases of class litigation, from class certification and subsequent litigation through settlement and claims proceedings.
Intellectual Property
The ability to protect intellectual property (“IP”) rights is often the key to maintaining competitive advantage in a changing marketplace. In today's information-based economy, a company's most valuable asset often is its intellectual property, whether patents, trademarks, copyrights, trade secrets, or the highly skilled minds that walk out the door each evening. The IP Group sees intellectual property as a "seamless web" in which the overriding goal must be the continuing and sustainable commercial success of the client in the marketplace and, if necessary, in the courthouse.
One of the most important criterion that determines the effectiveness of outside legal services is the ability of outside counsel to understand the client’s business. Gordon & Rees’s IP services are highly effective because many of our lawyers have served in in-house counsel positions before becoming private practitioners. We understand the unique nature of each client's IP requirements, and address those IP considerations on both a national and global scale.
Comprehensive IP Services
The IP Group assists clients in identifying, securing, asserting and defending all aspects of IP rights at home and abroad. We can also conduct IP audits and provide advice and counseling for strategies to maximize IP assets. In addition to the traditional IP components of patents, trademark and trade dress, and copyright, Gordon & Rees’s Intellectual Property Group is expert in trade secrets, internet-related issues, rights of privacy, and issues of unfair competition and antitrust as well as regulatory compliance. We are also highly experienced at negotiating and drafting development agreements, licenses, distribution, joint venture, strategic alliance, and vendor services agreements. We also have extensive experience crafting and implementing cost-efficient enforcement programs to protect IP rights including seizures, injunctions, anti-counterfeiting and gray market enforcement.
We regularly undertake prosecution and administrative proceedings before the Patent and Trademark Office, Copyright Office, and Trademark Trial and Appeal Board, as well as foreign bodies through correspondent counsel. More than half of our IP lawyers are admitted to practice before the USPTO, and our members include a former USPTO Examiner, adjunct professors and instructors of law, and a certified arbitrator and mediator with the International Trademark Association Panel of Neutrals and American Arbitration Association.
Dispute Resolution
Many litigators, especially those from large firms, seldom or never go to trial. Gordon & Rees is unusual in having a cadre of highly experienced IP lawyers who do. We are at home in the courtroom. We strive to resolve our client’s legal issues early on in a cost-effective manner, but where necessary we are not afraid to take a case to a jury, and have done so frequently and with great success. Our IP attorneys are distinguished in having a well-proven track record of jury trial experience with a deep bench of first-chair litigators, success in appellate practice, and mediation and arbitration experience in both state and federal courts, before the American Arbitration Association and international forums.
Global Reach
We are familiar with the interplay of trade agreements such as NAFTA, TRIPS (Trade-Related Intellectual Property Rights), and other international protocols on the enforcement of IP rights abroad and in the United States, (including service under the various Hague Conventions, and the enforcement of judgments under bilateral treaties), as well as efforts to harmonize IP rights worldwide, through the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) and more specialized multilateral treaties. The IP Group members have IP prosecution experience and professional affiliations in numerous foreign jurisdictions, including the Pacific Rim, Canada, Latin America, and Europe, as well as various foreign language capabilities.
