Rebecca defends and prosecutes employment-related claims on behalf of employers of all sizes, across diverse industries, at the administrative, state court, and federal court levels. She successfully navigates cases—ranging from simple, single-plaintiff discrimination claims to complicated, contentious multi-party disputes—from inception to final judgment or dismissal. As a former law clerk in the United States District Courts for the Western and Eastern Districts of Texas, Rebecca knows how judges and their staff think, spots and efficiently analyzes the important—yet often overlooked—issues, and persuasively drafts and argues briefs for the court’s consideration.
In addition to litigation, Rebecca regularly counsels employers on ways to mitigate risk. She advises employers on various human resources issues, including requests for reasonable accommodations and leave, hiring and terminations, wage and hour matters, and employee competition and fiduciary duty breaches. She also drafts and revises employment-related agreements and workplace policies, procedures, and handbooks and conducts internal investigations in response to allegations of discrimination and misconduct. Recognizing the importance of understanding her clients’ unique businesses and needs, Rebecca partners with employers to provide prompt, cost-effective, creative, and practical advice for effectively handling even the most complex employment law-related matter. To that end, Rebecca conducts training for management and employees on best practices and policies, particularly with the aim of avoiding litigation.
