Jaime D. Walter partners with employers to navigate state and federal employment laws in order to both prevent—and defend against—litigation. Jaime understands that, besides being costly, litigation can be stressful. As a result, Jaime continuously keeps clients abreast of litigation developments; anticipates client needs; and presents solutions, rather than only problems.

Jaime represents employers in a spectrum of litigation issues, from wage-and-hour class and collective actions and California Private Attorneys General Act (PAGA) representative actions to defending against harassment, discrimination, retaliation, defamation, wrongful termination, and breach of contract claims, among others. Jaime has practiced not only at the trial and appellate court levels, but also before administrative agencies. She also regularly counsels clients to identify simple solutions that comply with state and federal law.

Jaime has worked with clients in a broad range of industries, including healthcare, retail, food and beverage, financial services, telecommunications, technology, fitness, media, hospitality, insurance, manufacturing, entertainment, and transportation.
