Shannon is an employment litigator in Ogletree Deakins’ San Francisco office. She enjoys guiding her clients through the employment law process-whether it is an investigation, deposition, court hearing, settlement, alternative dispute resolution, or trial. She partners with her clients to craft winning strategies for the single- and multi-plaintiff cases she handles, which range from matters involving claims of wrongful termination to trade secret misappropriation, discrimination, harassment, retaliation, wage and hour violations, defamation, unfair competition, and more. She represents clients in state and federal court, arbitration, and before various administrative agencies, including the California Civil Rights Department, the United States Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, and the California Division of Labor Standards Enforcement.
In addition to her litigation practice, Shannon regularly provides advice and counsel services to employers seeking guidance on compliance with federal, state, and local laws. She also advises employers on risk management and employee relations issues. Shannon develops and updates workplace policies and employee handbooks for local and multi-national employers. In this area, Shannon strives to partner with in-house counsel, HR professionals, business owners, and executives to provide tailored and practical solutions to California employment and wage/hour issues, with an aim to avoid costly and disruptive litigation.
Outside of the office, Shannon is an active member of her community, as well as several professional associations. For over eight years, Shannon served as an adjunct instructor at the College of Extended Learning for San Francisco State University, co-teaching a survey course on employment law for Human Resources professionals. She also serves on the board of Legal Access Alameda, the pro bono arm of the Alameda County Bar Association, which provides free legal services to low-income residents of Alameda County through monthly legal clinics.
