Capacidades
Experiencia
- Representation of a defense contractor’s technology division in a Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) collective action alleging it failed to pay proper overtime wages to customer service representatives at its call centers. A settlement was resolved after opposing motion for conditional certification of the claims of 182 employee plaintiffs who had opted into the case. In a joint motion, the parties said it was clear from oral arguments held on the workers' renewed motion for conditional certification that the two sides "fiercely disputed their adversary's position" and that a legitimate dispute existed over whether the workers were entitled to pay for that preliminary work, such as booting up their call systems and checking emails, or if the contractor would prevail on its defense that this was de minimis work and that it properly trained its workers to record their time.
- Representing a higher education institution in the defense of multiple labor & employment matters filed by former employees, including the briefing and defense of an appeal before the United States Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit in which the Eleventh Circuit affirmed the trial court's Order in favor of the higher education institution.
