Expert guidance through a complex employee classification issue

I engaged Kelly T. Chu at Littler to advise my mid-sized tech company on a sensitive matter involving the potential misclassification of several independent contractors. From our initial consultation, it was clear that Kelly's recognition in Labor and Employment Law - Management was well-deserved. She possesses a deep, practical understanding of California's complex employment landscape, which she leveraged to conduct a thorough audit of our existing contracts and work practices. Her analysis was not just a legal recitation; she framed the risks and potential liabilities in clear business terms, which was invaluable for our executive team. The action plan she developed was comprehensive and helped us navigate towards compliance while minimizing operational disruption. Her background, including her J.D. from USC and her practice in Los Angeles, gives her a sharp perspective on the nuances of employment law in our region. While her expertise is top-tier, there were a couple of instances where email responses took a bit longer than expected, likely due to her demanding caseload. Overall, Kelly provided strategic, high-caliber counsel that protected our company. I would confidently recommend her to any business facing employment law challenges in California.
