Rothner, Segall & Greenstone is a Southern California law firm engaged in the representation of public and private sector labor unions and individual plaintiffs in labor and employment-related matters. Our work typically involves the prosecution and defense of claims arising out of collective bargaining agreements, the National Labor Relations Act, various public sector bargaining statutes, the California Labor Code, Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the Fair Employment and Housing Act, the Fair Labor Standards Act, and other statutes guaranteeing labor and employment rights to employees. The firm represents a number of local unions as retained counsel on general matters, including litigation, administrative proceedings, arbitrations, negotiations, and advice.
