Alexandra (Alex) Shulman is a Shareholder and a member of Buchalter’s Labor and Employment and Litigation Practice Groups. Alex focuses her practice on representing businesses in complex and high-exposure employment disputes and providing strategic advice to keep her clients out of the litigation crosshairs. With a strong foundation in commercial litigation, Alex brings a business-oriented and tactical approach to sophisticated employment matters.
Alex has extensive experience defending employers in wage and hour class actions and collective actions involving claims of meal and rest period violations, off-the-clock work, pay transparency violations, and employee misclassification. Her class action practice is complemented by her work on single-plaintiff matters involving wrongful termination, discrimination, retaliation, and sexual harassment claims. Her ability to navigate multifaceted legal and factual scenarios is informed by her experience litigating complex business, commercial, and consumer fraud matters.
Alex’s litigation practice also includes handling temporary restraining orders (TROs) and preliminary injunction proceedings, particularly in matters involving misappropriation of trade secrets and breaches of noncompetition, nonsolicitation, and confidentiality agreements. She is well-versed in obtaining and opposing emergency injunctive relief in fast-moving, high-risk disputes that can significantly impact a business’s operations.
Beyond litigation, Alex serves as a trusted advisor to employers of all sizes on day-to-day employment law compliance. She counsels on hiring and termination practices, employee discipline, wage and hour issues, disability accommodations, protected leaves, privacy concerns, policy and handbook development, and workforce restructurings. Her guidance is tailored to mitigate legal risk while aligning with each client’s business objectives.
