Felicia Davis –Paul Hastings LLP

The ‘world-class’ practice at Paul Hastings LLP is well-placed to handle contentious employment mandates including complex wage and hour claims, discrimination and harassment claims, government investigations, and sensitive labor disputes and negotiations. The group has additional experience in arbitration, trade secret cases, and government agency investigations. Elena Baca steers the practice from Los Angeles and specializes in class action defense, arbitration, and advisory mandates affecting C-Suite executives. Also in Los Angeles, ‘outstanding advocate’ Felicia Davis specializes in pay equity litigation. Over in New York, Patrick Shea litigates cases involving employee benefits, discrimination, wage and hour claims, and wrongful dismissal. Additional names to note include San Francisco-based Jeffrey Wohl, who has a track record in defeating high-stakes class action claims; and the ‘very skilled’ Carson Sullivan, who is based in Washington DC and majors on the defense of pay equity class actions. Sarah Besnoff, lauded by one client as ‘highly dedicated’, is the key senior associate-level contact. New York-based Sara Tomezsko was promoted to the partnership in February 2023.
