MaiaTaylor

Maia advises clients on employment litigation and agency proceedings; internal investigations involving discrimination, retaliation, harassment, wage and hour compliance, and executive-level issues; employee relations; ADA accommodations and leave administration; discipline and performance management; reductions in force and restructuring; executive separations; restrictive covenants; wage and hour audits and classification analyses; employment policies and compliance frameworks; and employment-related due diligence. She has managed a multimillion-dollar employment litigation and agency portfolio and enterprise-level federal litigation involving more than 500 plaintiffs.

When counseling clients, Maia first learns about their businesses, workforces, risk tolerances, and desired outcomes. She then tailors the scope and strategy to each situation—whether that means designing an efficient investigation plan, developing a defensible approach to discipline or restructuring, managing discovery and outside counsel in complex litigation, or creating policies and processes that business and HR teams can use in practice. Her advice is calibrated to her clients’ operations, rather than delivered as a one-size-fits-all legal answer.

Clients value Maia's candor, responsiveness, and ability to bring clarity to challenging situations. She distills complex facts into actionable guidance and helps clients make informed decisions in moments when competing risks and priorities are difficult to balance. Her advice reflects both litigation judgment and a practical understanding of how workplace decisions shape an organization long after the immediate issue is resolved.
