More About Renee

Renee helps employers answer a central question: how can a business resolve employment disputes efficiently while protecting its people, operations, and long-term objectives? She aligns litigation strategy with her clients’ broader priorities—from the first demand letter through final resolution—and counsels clients on employment claims, risk management, and workplace compliance.

In her practice, Renee represents clients in employment litigation and workplace disputes, including wage and hour claims, discrimination, harassment, and retaliation matters, as well as proceedings before the US Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC). She defends clients at trial, on appeal, in mediation, and through other alternative dispute resolution forums. Her appellate experience includes appearing before the Tenth Circuit and the Fourth Circuit, and arguing multiple cases before the Alaska Supreme Court.

As a legal advisor, Renee offers employers guidance on EEOC enforcement, systemic EEOC litigation, EEO-1 reporting, and related compliance developments. She writes and speaks regularly on the EEOC’s enforcement priorities and how employers should strategically respond to EEOC investigation and litigation actions. Her guidance helps employers navigate complex compliance requirements, negotiate resolutions with the EEOC, and litigate strategically against the EEOC when necessary.

Clients value Renee’s ability to distill complex legal issues into clear answers, meaningful options, and actionable next steps. Whether she is framing recommendations for executives, assessing different levels of risk, or preparing clients for questions from internal stakeholders, she gives them the information they need to make well-informed decisions with confidence.
