Peter Brown has been involved in all areas
of our firm's practice since 1989, representing cities, counties,
special districts, and school and community college districts in
litigation, administrative proceedings, negotiations and grievances.
Peter has a unique talent in promptly developing an expertise in new
employment related litigation, such as the Fair Labor Standards Act, the
Family Medical Leave Acts, and the various state and federal
discrimination laws. Many of the firm's clients have come to rely on his
advice in guiding them in these constantly changing areas of law.
Peter has also distinguished himself as a
sought-after speaker, author and trainer on topics that impact our
firm's clients. He speaks at numerous conferences throughout the state
of California and nationally on many different public sector labor and
employment law topics.
Peter is one of the most prolific and
popular presenters in the firm's renowned training activities. His
workshop subjects include employment discrimination, harassment,
employment investigations, legal updates, reference checks, personnel
files and public meeting law issues, performance evaluations,
termination and discipline, at-will employment, and privacy in the
workplace, as well as workshops focused on key employment legislative
developments, including the Americans with Disabilities Act, the Family
and Medical Care Leave Act, the Fair Labor Standards Act and retirement
law.
Although Peter spends much of his time
out of the office in court, hearings, workshops and negotiations, he
finds that the most enjoyable part of the practice of public sector
labor and employment law is advising clients how to resolve day-to-day
problems. "Helping people resolve a difficult problem is very
gratifying. It is why I went to law school."
