Jessica Thaller-Moran

Jessi Thaller-Moran focuses her practice on employment law and litigation, which includes counseling employers on legal compliance and helping them proactively identify, prepare for and respond to issues involving personnel management.

Jessi guides employers on appropriate responses to a rapidly-changing workplace. Over the last few years, this has included counseling through the rapid transitions required by the COVID-19 pandemic and responding to increasingly localized laws on everything from job postings to diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) in the workplace. She also advocates for employers before enforcement agencies and in state and federal courts.

Jessi seeks to help companies thrive by helping them plan for, and respond to, issues involving their workforce. She advises companies on wage and hour compliance, accommodation issues involving the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) and Americans with Disabilities (ADA), and anti-discrimination laws such as Title VII. She also provides drafting assistance on key documents ranging from employment agreements and separation documentation to workplace policies and handbooks.

Jessi represents businesses before administrative bodies and in all levels of state and federal courts. She has litigated complex business disputes involving corporate governance and breaches of contract, as well as defending employers against allegations involving wage and hour law, major employment laws like Title VII and the ADA, and challenges to employee classification. She also counsels clients through contentious pre-litigation disputes and thinks creatively about opportunities for resolution.
