Rachael represents employers in a wide range of employment litigation and counseling matters.

Rachael’s practice includes defending employers against discrimination claims before administrative agencies, federal and state courts, and alternative dispute resolution forums. She has substantial experience in all phases of litigation, including discovery, depositions, dispositive motions, and expert testimony.
