Quarles & Brady has expanded its labor and employment practice with the addition of two seasoned attorneys, Matt Drenan and Charles Whitman, who have joined the San Diego office as partners. The law firm publicly announced their appointments earlier this week. Their experience and expertise are expected to enhance the firm’s litigation capabilities across both state and federal jurisdictions.
Matt Drenan is noted for his extensive experience in defending single-plaintiff, complex, class, and representative action lawsuits. He is a recognized advisor on matters such as compliance with wage and hour regulations, class actions, and the Private Attorneys General Act (PAGA) litigation. His legal acumen is further demonstrated by his focus on wage and hour disputes, both at the state and national level.
Charles Whitman, conversely, brings a comprehensive understanding of workplace dynamics, advising corporations through complex business disputes, as well as government investigations and prosecutions. His practice spans all facets of state and federal employment litigation, offering counsel that navigates the intricate interplay of workplace regulations and legal requirements.
The integration of Drenan and Whitman into Quarles & Brady’s San Diego office underscores the firm’s commitment to bolstering its labor and employment practice with seasoned litigators. Their addition provides the firm with further depth to address intricate employment law challenges faced by its clients in California and beyond.
