Public Entities

AALRR's attorneys have decades of experience representing public entity clients in all aspects of labor and employment matters. We represent cities, counties, housing authorities, transit agencies, California administrative agencies, water districts, and other special districts. The firm also represents law enforcement and fire agencies.

We serve as trusted advisor to our clients who seek our expertise for their toughest cases, requesting our advice on novel and gray-area legal issues; asking us to negotiate labor contracts between highly acrimonious parties; engaging us for complex investigations; and retaining us to defend litigation brought by high level officials and other employees. We have developed long-term relationships with clients due to our understanding of the issues faced by public entities and our focus on achieving effective results. Our attorneys have been recognized throughout the state as top in their field. 

Our legal services include personnel administration; PERS audits; disability retirement, health and welfare benefits; EEO, including discrimination, harassment, and whistleblower claims; public safety, including the POBR and FOBR; wage and hour, including FLSA collective actions; investigations, litigation, and training; reasonable accommodation; and employee leaves.
