Kathleen Collins
Our company retained Nicole McAtee after an employee filed a complaint alleging a hostile work environment, which quickly escalated into a potential lawsuit. Navigating the internal investigation while managing legal risk was overwhelming. Nicole’s deep expertise in California labor and employment law was immediately evident. She provided a clear, strategic roadmap that balanced thorough compliance with protecting our business interests. Her background, including her recognition by Best Lawyers in management-side employment law, gave our leadership team immense confidence. Nicole was exceptionally sharp during negotiations, ultimately helping us reach a resolution that avoided costly litigation. Her advice was always practical and grounded in real-world outcomes. While her response time could occasionally be a day or two during extremely busy periods, the quality of her work never wavered. I would confidently recommend her to any San Diego business facing complex employment matters.
