Why Employment Law Matters for LA Businesses

Los Angeles is the epicenter of business innovation, but also ground zero for complex employment laws and claims. 52% of California employers will face an employment-related claim. The impact can be devastating: lost productivity, financial penalties, and reputational damage.
