Scott Rechtschaffen

Exceptional guidance through a complex employment dispute

Our company faced a challenging wrongful termination claim that threatened significant liability and reputational damage. We were referred to Scott Rechtschaffen at Littler, and it was the best decision we could have made. Despite his relatively recent start at the firm, Scott’s deep knowledge of California employment law was immediately apparent. He leveraged the formidable resources of Littler’s San Francisco office while providing us with direct, hands-on counsel. His background, including his recognition by Best Lawyers in Employment Law - Management, was not just a credential on paper; it translated into a strategic, nuanced approach. Scott meticulously dissected the facts of our case, anticipated the plaintiff’s arguments, and guided us through every step of the negotiation process with a calm, assured demeanor. He was always accessible, explaining complex legal concepts in clear business terms. Ultimately, his skillful negotiation resulted in a settlement that was a fraction of the initial demand, protecting our company from a costly trial. Scott’s professionalism, sharp intellect, and dedication to achieving the best possible outcome were truly impressive. I would not hesitate to recommend him to any business navigating the complexities of employment law in California.
