Employment

Counseling, Investigations, & Litigation

Employment disputes are high-stakes, fast-moving, and often business-critical. Horst Legal Counsel works with employers through proactive counseling and workplace investigations to help prevent employment-related conflicts from arising in the first place, helping management teams protect the organization, control risk, and stay focused on operations. And, when claims do arise, we represent employers and executives in complex employment litigation matters statewide, in both California state and federal courts.

Our employment practice focuses on practical, business-minded defense strategy—from early risk assessment and pre-litigation positioning through motion practice, discovery, mediation, and trial preparation. We prioritize disciplined case management, clear communication, and solutions that align with your goals and budget.
