Brian A. Featherstun

Brian Featherstun is an associate in the Employment Law practice of Paul Hastings and is based in the firm’s San Francisco office. He is a trial lawyer, whose practice focuses on developing efficient, cost-effective, and jury-friendly strategies on matters ranging from routine business disputes to “bet the company” litigation in all aspects of complex litigation and employment matters.

As a veteran of numerous trial teams, Mr. Featherstun is frequently asked to step into a case on the eve of trial. He handles first- and second-chair responsibility for trials, hearings, depositions, and administrative proceedings, and runs the day-to-day operations of all phases of litigation from pre-filing analyses through post-verdict enforcement and appeals. He places an emphasis on evaluating each case from the jury’s perspective to realistically assess a case’s strengths and weaknesses, and has used that insight to help clients reach resolution at all stages of the litigation process.

Outside of the courtroom, Mr. Featherstun routinely advises employers on best practices to mitigate exposure or avoid litigation altogether. He counsels clients on all aspects of employment law, including employee mobility, trade secret and restrictive covenants, discrimination, retaliation, harassment, and wage and hour issues. He prides himself on partnering with his clients to best understand their business needs and finding creative solutions to solve their most pressing problems.
