Overview

Sasha advises and defends employers across a wide range of industries in matters affecting today’s workplace, from regulatory compliance to litigation and dispute resolution.

With nearly two decades of experience in labor and employment law, Sasha guides clients through the complexities of federal and state laws, including the FLSA, FMLA, ADA, Title VII, and the WARN Act. She works with employers in sectors such as education, software, technology, manufacturing, staffing, and hospitality to navigate workplace challenges and build practical solutions that align with their business goals.

Sasha’s practice includes advising on policies and procedures that govern the employee lifecycle—from hiring and onboarding to discipline, leaves of absence, and separation. She drafts employment-related agreements, including noncompetes, nonsolicits, confidentiality agreements, and executive employment contracts. When disputes arise, Sasha represents clients in litigation and before state and federal agencies, coordinating strategy and managing investigations involving claims of discrimination, harassment, unprofessional conduct, and wage and hour violations.

Sasha also serves as a co-chair of the firm’s Investigations practice group, and is regularly engaged as an independent investigator for colleges and universities, conducting investigations related to Title IX and employment discrimination.

She frequently presents on evolving workplace laws and trends, helping employers stay informed and prepared in a rapidly changing regulatory environment.

About Me

On the weekends, you can find Sasha hiking a 14er, reading by the light of a campfire, attempting to follow her family down a mountain on skis while minimizing the number of broken bones, or sipping a beverage at the lodge if that fails.
