Rosa Chong represents employers in workplace disputes, employment litigation, and compliance matters. She defends clients in California state and federal courts and before administrative agencies, with a focus on single-plaintiff employment claims, wage-and-hour litigation, and representative actions under California's Private Attorneys General Act (PAGA).
Rosa guides employers through every stage of litigation and dispute resolution, from prelitigation demands through trial preparation. She manages a high-volume docket of employment litigation matters for clients across the healthcare, entertainment, and food service industries, bringing a can-do attitude and business-minded approach to navigating California's byzantine employment laws.
As a native speaker, Rosa also has extensive experience working with Korean companies and brings a practical understanding of the cultural and business considerations that can arise when Korean businesses navigate U.S. courtrooms.
