Global Health Food Company Successfully Resolves Wage & Hour Litigation

Represented a global health food brand in connection with a complaint filed on behalf of four ranch hands at the client’s ranch facility in Goleta, California. The complaint alleged that plaintiffs were not afforded their meal and rest periods, failed to receive minimum wages, and other wage and hour claims.  Plaintiffs also alleged that they complained about threats of violence and were terminated as a result. These allegations resulted in significant financial and reputational exposure to the client. Even so, we were able to finalize an early settlement after a full day of mediation for less than the client’s authority while avoiding any reputational risks.
