Overview

Javier Garcia represents clients in a wide range of litigation matters, including cases involving race, age, disability and gender discrimination; wage-and-hour class actions; noncompete agreements; trade secrets; Sarbanes-Oxley whistleblower claims; and collective bargaining agreement disputes. Highly experienced in litigating before Washington and California courts up to and including trials, Javier uses his litigation experience to vigorously represent clients throughout the litigation process in the event securing an early resolution is not possible.

Outside of his litigation practice, Javier counsels clients in California and Washington on employment issues involving employment policies and handbooks, employment contracts and severance agreements, and he keeps California clients compliant with California’s highly regulated employment environment. Javier has also served as a trusted advisor on labor matters subject to collective bargaining agreements, including labor arbitrations, unfair labor practices and National Labor Relations Board administrative hearings and appeals.
