Jay Athey

Expert guidance through a complex workplace investigation

Our company faced a sensitive internal investigation involving allegations of harassment and retaliation. We needed counsel who was not only legally sharp but could navigate the human resources complexities with discretion. Jay Athey was recommended for his labor and employment management focus, and his 14 years of experience were immediately evident. He guided our internal team through every step, from preserving evidence to conducting interviews, ensuring we complied with all state and federal regulations while protecting the company's interests. His recognition by Best Lawyers in this specific field gave us confidence in his strategic advice. The outcome was a thorough, defensible process that minimized disruption. While Jay's expertise is top-tier, there were occasional delays in receiving draft documents, which our tight timeline made noticeable. Overall, his deep knowledge of New Mexico employment law and practical approach from the Littler firm were invaluable. We will certainly engage him again for future matters.
