Overview

Megan has spent her entire career defending and counseling employers in all aspects of employment law, including pay equity audits, wage and hour class and representative actions, harassment and discrimination litigation, reasonable accommodations, and family and medical leave law. Recognizing that different legal issues call for different approaches, Megan finds solutions that meet her clients’ business needs and goals, whether that is developing leverage to obtain an early resolution or taking a case to trial.  

Megan is Co-Leader of the San Diego office, Co-Chair of the firm’s Leaves and Accommodations Practice Group, and a core member of the firm’s Pay Equity Practice Group. She assists employers in developing workplace policies and procedures, and she regularly advises employers regarding day-to-day employment issues and strategies to avoid employment claims and litigation. Megan utilizes her B.S. degree in Mathematics to conduct damages analysis and compensation audits and to develop commission and compensation plans that comply with California’s complicated and highly technical Labor Code.   

For five years, Megan taught HR and the Law I and II classes focused on all aspects of California law at San Diego State University. Megan also frequently provides supervisor training for employers and conducts a monthly breakfast briefing on updates and legal developments. Upon graduating from law school, Megan was awarded the ABA/BNA Award for Excellence in the Study of Labor and Employment Law.
