Kandice Canchan

A Strategic Partner in Complex Employment Litigation

Our company faced a high-stakes wrongful termination lawsuit from a former executive. The allegations were complex, and the potential exposure was significant. We were referred to Kandice Canchan at O'Hagan Meyer, and it was the best decision we could have made. From our first consultation in her San Francisco office, Kandice demonstrated a profound command of California labor law. Her recognition in Best Lawyers for Labor and Employment Law - Management was immediately evident in her strategic approach. She didn't just react to the complaint; she conducted a forensic analysis of our internal policies, communication records, and the employee's entire history, building a formidable defense. Kandice guided our leadership team with clarity, explaining every legal nuance without jargon, which was invaluable for making informed decisions. Her negotiation with opposing counsel was masterful—firm, principled, and data-driven. Ultimately, she secured a dismissal of the most damaging claims early in the process, which allowed us to resolve the remaining matter on highly favorable, confidential terms before a protracted trial. Kandice is more than an attorney; she is a strategic business ally who protects your organization. Her blend of sharp legal acumen, practical business sense, and unwavering professionalism is exceptional. I recommend her without reservation to any business navigating the treacherous waters of employment law.
