Olivier & Schreiber PC - Oakland, CA
Olivier & Schreiber PC is an elite employment and civil rights law firm in Oakland, California, renowned for prosecuting groundbreaking worker class actions, wage and hour claims, workplace discrimination, and civil appeals across state and federal courts.
Championing Employee Rights and Workplace Justice in Oakland
Navigating unlawful workplace conditions or confronting powerful corporate employers requires exceptional legal skill and unyielding courage. When California workers need to find a lawyer who possesses proven appellate experience and trial mastery, Olivier & Schreiber PC offers comprehensive representation. Based at 475 14th Street in downtown Oakland, the firm represents workers, consumers, and the public in high-impact litigation across California and nationwide. Founded by recognized trial advocates Monique Olivier and Christian Schreiber, the practice has secured landmark multi-million-dollar settlements in independent contractor misclassification, systemic discrimination, and wage theft cases.
Comprehensive Employment and Labor Litigation
Every employee deserves to work in an environment free from exploitation and unlawful labor practices. Serving as experienced employment and labor lawyers, the attorneys at Olivier & Schreiber PC challenge unfair employment practices on behalf of individual workers and widespread classes. Spouses and employees who hire an attorney from the firm benefit from strategic insight honed through decades of litigation against multinational corporations and public agencies. The firm assists clients across diverse matters ranging from executive compensation disputes to class-wide labor enforcement under the California Private Attorneys General Act.
Fighting Wage Theft and Overtime Violations
Wage theft deprives hardworking professionals and gig workers of their rightful earnings. As aggressive wage and hour lawyers, the legal team prosecutes widespread employer misconduct, including independent contractor misclassification, off-the-clock work, unpaid overtime, illegal deduction of tips, and denied meal and rest periods. The firm has stood at the center of monumental gig economy litigation, challenging major rideshare and logistics platforms that attempt to evade statutory employee benefits. Whether litigating in arbitration or pursuing complex federal class actions, the practice fights to restore unpaid wages and enforce state labor mandates.
Countering Discrimination, Harassment, and Retaliation
Workplace prejudice undermines professional dignity and career advancement. Olivier & Schreiber PC features dedicated workplace discrimination lawyers, harassment lawyers, and wrongful termination lawyers who defend workers subjected to unfair treatment based on race, gender, pregnancy, sexual orientation, disability, or age. When an employee speaks out against illegal corporate conduct or requests protected medical leave, retaliation often follows. When clients need a lawyer urgently to contest retaliatory firings, hostile work environments, or whistleblowing suppression, the firm builds formidable evidentiary records to vindicate worker rights under Title VII and the California Fair Employment and Housing Act.
Strategic Contract Review and Civil Appeals
In addition to workplace civil rights litigation, the firm serves as trusted contract lawyers and business litigation lawyers who evaluate executive employment contracts, non-disclosure agreements, and severance arrangements. Founding partner Monique Olivier is a certified appellate specialist by the California State Bar Board of Legal Specialization, making the practice a sought-after destination for defending favorable trial verdicts or overturning adverse rulings before the California Court of Appeal, the California Supreme Court, and the federal Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals.
