Welcome to the Cook Brown Labor and Employment Law Podcast. I\u2019m Lisa Ryan, a partner here at the firm. Cook Brown is a California-based labor and employment law firm. We represent public and private sector employers in everything from routine advice to complex class action litigation. We also represent employers who have operations in a variety of states. But employers doing business in the Golden State are confronted with more legal challenges from their employees than are those in just about any other state. Really, almost all of them. And that\u2019s what we\u2019re going to talk about today. I\u2019m going to share some insights about a few of the litigation trends we\u2019re seeing in our practice in 2016. They\u2019re based on three particular state laws. The goal of this podcast is to give you an overall heads-up on the most common legal vulnerabilities employers are facing here in California. First is the California\u2019s Private Attorney General Act. Second are California\u2019s meal and rest break requirements. And third are pay stub violations. Before we start, I\u2019d like to remind you that this podcast is for general informational purposes only. It doesn\u2019t create an attorney-client relationship between Cook Brown and the listener, should not be treated as advice specific to your situation. And whether inside or outside of California, it is important that you consult a local attorney for specific advice.
