Our Core Areas of Advocacy for Workers

We are a plaintiffs'-side employment firm, meaning we only represent employees, never the company. Our practice is focused on complex cases where corporate wrongdoing has harmed a group of workers.

• Wage and Hour Lawyers: This is a cornerstone of our practice. We relentlessly pursue claims for unpaid overtime, failure to pay minimum wage, and illegal tip withholding. We have pioneered litigation on behalf of tipped employees and service workers to ensure they receive all gratuities they are owed.
• Independent Contractor Misclassification: We are nationally recognized for our groundbreaking lawsuits against companies that misclassify their employees as independent contractors to deny them critical protections and benefits. We have brought landmark cases on behalf of rideshare drivers (Uber/Lyft), delivery drivers, cleaning workers, and many others in the gig economy and beyond.
• Workplace Discrimination Lawyers: We fight for employees who have faced discrimination based on race, gender, disability, age, or another protected class. We also handle cases of illegal retaliation against workers who stand up for their rights.
• Wrongful Termination Lawyers: Our firm represents employees who have been unlawfully fired from their jobs in violation of employment laws or public policy.

A Reputation Forged in the Courtroom

Our attorneys, including founders Harold Lichten and Shannon Liss-Riordan—often called the “worker's champion”—have a proven track record of winning multi-million dollar verdicts and settlements. We have argued and won cases before numerous U.S. Courts of Appeals and the highest state courts. Our firm is consistently awarded the highest ratings by legal organizations and praised by judges for our ethical and vigorous representation of workers in class action cases.
