Bio

Dan Coyle works on a daily basis to assist national and regional employers in navigating the complex and consistently changing employment laws of California. A partner and past chair of the Firm's Employment and Benefits Law Practice Group, Dan has an excellent record in counseling clients through thorny employment issues and problem employee situations without claims or litigation.

Dan limits his practice to representing employers. He has successfully defended individual and class action employment claims in state and federal court and private arbitrations. Dan has significant experience in defending discrimination, wrongful termination, and wage and hour claims, including class actions ranging from 50 to 1,500 class members. Dan has defeated class certification motions of national and state classes. He also represents public employers in employee discipline and post-termination due process hearings.

Described by clients as efficient, detail-oriented, and practical, Dan looks at all sides of an issue to work with clients to determine the best approach for cost-effectively responding to their employment needs. He counsels employers on a myriad of situations, such as dealing with employee exposure to infectious disease, responding to an employee “stalking” a coworker, or implementing a large-scale reduction in force. Dan also works with employers to prepare and implement employee handbooks and policies, draft contracts, and confidentiality and severance agreements.

Dan is listed in the prestigious directory, “Best Lawyers in America,” and has also received the highest peer rating of “AV” from Martindale-Hubbell. He is a former member of the Executive Committee of the Sacramento County Bar Association, Labor and Employment Law Section.
