Jessica's background involves defending industry leaders and emerging companies in their most complex workplace decisions and legal disputes.  This litigation instinct drives everything she does, including the advice she gives long before anyone ends up in a courtroom.

​

In addition to a general civil litigation practice, Jessica represents employers across the full employment lifecycle, which includes advising on smarter people decisions, implementing compliant workplace policies and practices to reduce potential exposure, and navigating claims of discrimination, harassment, wrongful termination, misclassification, and wage-and-hour violations.  She is also a certificate holder with the Association of Workplace Investigators, which is a gold standard credential for professional workplace investigators.

​

Jessica transitioned from her position at a global Big Law firm to launch her own practice—not because it wasn't working, but because she saw a gap in services available to her community.  She strives to provide top-tier legal representation and strategic counsel to a broad range of clients in a focused, responsive, and cost-conscious environment. ​She previously served on the California Equal Pay Task Force and co-chaired Orrick's Equal Pay Task Force, and she brings that same thoughtfulness and leadership to the practical realities her clients face every day.

When she's not lawyering, Jessica spends time outdoors and adventuring with her family.  Some of her favorite places include northern California mountain lakes and camping in the eastern Sierra desert.
