Amber Healy is a Shareholder in the Firm’s Los Angeles office and a member of the Labor and Employment practice group. Ms. Healy is Co-Chair of the Firm’s Wage & Hour Practice and Chair of the Firm’s PAGA practice.

Ms. Healy represents local, regional and national employers in all aspects of labor and employment law and related litigation. Her practice focuses on the defense of wage and hour class actions and lawsuits under the Labor Code’s Private Attorneys General Act (PAGA). Ms. Healy litigates employment law matters in courts throughout the State of California. She also handles individual wage and hour claims, equal pay, whistleblower, discrimination, harassment, retaliation, defamation and wrongful termination matters.

Ms. Healy’s broad labor experience includes representing and defending employers in union grievance proceedings, collective bargaining, and dealings with union locals. Ms. Healy has experience handling matters before the National Labor Relations Board and unfair labor practice charges.

Ms. Healy frequently represents clients in proceedings before state and federal administrative agencies, including the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, the United States Department of Labor, the California Civil Rights Department, Department of Industrial Relations and the Division of Labor Standards Enforcement.

Ms. Healy’s defense of employers in high-stakes wage and hour litigation and PAGA actions allows her to assist employers in implementing proactive measures to avoid and mitigate the risk of litigation. She regularly conducts audits of employment practices and procedures and assists in the development and implementation of updated policies and practices.

Ms. Healy has successfully litigated hundreds of class, collective and representative PAGA matters. Her clients span various industries, including construction, manufacturing, apparel and fashion, hospitality, food service, homecare services, property management, food processing, retail, trucking, shipping, logistics, e-commerce, healthcare and emergency medical services.

Though Ms. Healy now focuses her practice on the defense of class litigation matters on behalf of employers, she spent several years representing plaintiffs in class litigation, successfully representing classes ranging from 50 members to over 100,000 members and securing numerous class settlements exceeding a total recovery of $50 million. With her plaintiff-side background, she brings a unique perspective to the cases she handles.
