More About Olivia
When workplace issues arise, clients need clear legal guidance they can act on. Olivia counsels employers on day-to-day employment matters, conducts workplace investigations, and represents clients in agency proceedings and litigation.
Olivia advises and represents employers in matters involving discrimination, harassment, retaliation, disability accommodation, leave management, EEOC charges and investigations, internal workplace investigations, and day-to-day employment counseling. She also litigates restrictive covenant, confidentiality, and trade secret disputes, as well as single- and multi-plaintiff employment litigation. Her background handling commercial litigation and data breach class actions provides additional perspective when assessing risk and developing litigation strategy.
Drawing on her experience in employment counseling, investigations, EEOC matters, and litigation, Olivia develops practical solutions tailored to each client's unique circumstances and business objectives. She takes the time to learn each client's goals, culture, risk tolerance, and preferred communication style. Olivia can adapt both her advice and communication, whether that means providing concise legal guidance to leadership or partnering closely with human resources professionals and in-house counsel.
As a former teacher, Olivia enjoys breaking down complex legal issues into practical, actionable guidance. Her approach emphasizes clear communication, proactive problem-solving, and strong client relationships so that clients feel informed and confident at every stage of a matter. She provides legal advice that is practical, accessible, and aligned with each client's goals. At the same time, her litigation experience gives clients confidence that if a workplace dispute escalates, they have an advocate prepared to defend their interests.
