Helen Braginsky

Helen is a seasoned employment attorney who represents employers in complex employment litigation and advises businesses on workplace compliance, employee relations, and risk management.

She works with national and multinational companies on a wide range of employment matters, helping clients navigate day-to-day workplace challenges while developing practical strategies that support their business objectives. Her practice includes advising employers on hiring, discipline, terminations, workplace investigations, personnel policies, and compliance initiatives, as well as defending high-stakes employment disputes involving discrimination, harassment, retaliation, wrongful termination, unfair competition, and wage and hour claims. She regularly defends employers in complex wage and hour class actions and Private Attorneys General Act (PAGA) representative actions involving employee classification, meal and rest period compliance, overtime pay, and off-the-clock work, representing clients in state and federal courts, arbitration proceedings, and before administrative agencies, including the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), California Civil Rights Department (CRD), and Division of Labor Standards Enforcement (DLSE).

Drawing on both litigation and counseling experience, Helen advises employers on compliance with federal and state employment laws, including wage and hour requirements, leave and accommodation issues, and workplace investigations. She partners with human resources professionals and business leaders to identify employment risks, implement compliant workplace practices, and resolve employee relations issues before they escalate into litigation.
