California Employment Mediation
During his last 15 years as an employment litigator, Eric handled a large number of employment cases involving tech companies, primarily in the Bay Area and Los Angeles. Employment lawsuits in the tech sector often involve fast growing companies, rapidly evolving job duties, shifting workplace responsibilities, fluid management structures, hybrid or remote teams, and multi-layered decision-making structures. These cases frequently include extensive communication records (emails/Slack), data-heavy documentation, vague policies and/or complex performance evaluations. Mediation in this environment requires a structured approach capable of bringing clarity to extensive factual timelines and conflicting narratives.
Eric provides litigation-focused mediation for tech companies, engineering teams, product groups, and tech-industry organizations to resolve complicated employment disputes.
Litigation Patterns in Tech Employment Cases
Tech-sector employment litigation commonly involves:
Documentation-Rich Environments
- Slack, Teams, and email threads
- project-management platforms (Jira, Asana, Trello)
- code reviews or technical performance logs
- product-development timelines with multiple contributors
Hybrid / Remote Oversight Challenges
- unclear supervision structures
- mixed documentation from multiple locations
- shifting responsibilities as teams scale
Role and Responsibility Evolution
- job duties changing across product cycles
- performance expectations evolving with rapid growth
- disputes tied to reorganizations, pivots, or leadership changes
These elements create fact patterns that require careful organization during mediation.
