Littler Mendelson P.C., a prominent employment and labor law firm, has announced that Seth Mehrten has joined their ranks as a shareholder in their Fresno, California, office. According to a Bloomberg report, this move underscores Littler’s ongoing strategy to enhance its litigation capabilities across key U.S. markets.
Mehrten, who transitions from his previous role at Barsamian & Moody, is renowned for his expertise in employment-related litigation. His practice largely involves representing employers in cases centered around wage and hour violations, as well as accusations of discrimination, harassment, and retaliation. His comprehensive skill set includes navigating both federal and state court systems, managing class actions, and defending clients before influential bodies such as the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), the National Labor Relations Board, and the California Labor Commissioner, amongst others.
The appointment reflects Littler’s commitment to expanding its influential body of employment-focused litigation professionals. The firm’s strategic decision to bring in Mehrten aligns with the growing demand for intricate legal navigation in employment disputes, particularly within the context of California’s complex regulatory environment.
This development offers insight into Littler’s broader objectives to bolster their legal bench in regions where labor laws are both varied and vigorously applied, ensuring that their clients receive robust defenses against increasingly sophisticated claims.
