Gabriel A. Mendoza

Gabriel Mendoza represents employers in a wide range of disputes and litigation. Clients turn to him for preventive advice and counseling related to workplace law matters.

My focus

I dedicate my practice to defending employers against wage and hour disputes, including Private Attorneys General Act (PAGA) and class action matters, and claims of discrimination, harassment, retaliation, employee misclassifications, independent contractor disputes, meal and rest breaks, off-the-clock work, failure-to-pay, and wrongful termination in single and multi-plaintiff/defendant matters.

In addition to my litigation experience, I advise clients on employment policies and practices, including review of separation agreements, employee handbooks, and meal and rest period policies and waivers. I also draft notices of employee privacy rights and Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) memorandums for PAGA and class action matters. I assist clients with disciplinary actions and investigations, conduct employment practices reviews, and wage and hour exposure analyses and calculations.
