Anthony Z. Vargas Firm Shifts to 100% Employee-Side Employment Law in San Diego

3 articles · Updated · prlog.org · Aug 17

Summary

  • Anthony Z. Vargas's San Diego firm said it will now handle only employee-side employment law matters and will stop taking any employer-side cases.
  • The firm said the change is meant to remove divided-loyalty concerns in disputes where workers often face companies with HR teams, defense counsel and repeat litigation experience.
  • California's fast-changing rules also drove the shift, including FEHA coverage for employers with as few as 1 employee, Labor Code 1102.5 burden-shifting, and a statewide ban on non-compete agreements.
  • The practice will focus on harassment, discrimination, wrongful termination, retaliation, wage-and-hour claims and accommodation disputes across San Diego County, with free confidential consultations and most cases handled on contingency.
