In addition, Meer has a record of defeating class certification in wage and hour cases, as well as discrimination and civil rights cases.

"Jon's contagious enthusiasm for his work along with his passion for providing first-class counsel to his clients are the very qualities that propel clients to refer to ours as among 'the go-to' firms for labor and employment matters in California and nationally," said Jeremy P.

Youmans, Office Managing Partner of the firm's Los Angeles office. "We have every expectation that he'll greatly contribute to the ongoing success of both our office's and the firm's national labor and employment practice. Equally important, Jon will be a wonderful colleague who will add much to our social fabric."
