My practice is focused exclusively on matters involving occupational safety and health for employers of all sizes. I support clients in all aspects of litigation against OSHA and provide strategic advice to employers looking to understand the impact of OSHA regulations on their workplaces and operations.
I have extensive experience handling fatality, accident and complaint investigations in a broad range of industries including energy, healthcare, telecommunications, construction, manufacturing, logistics, and processing.
I represent employers and industry stakeholders throughout OSHA rulemaking proceedings, including drafting comments and participating in OSHA’s informal public hearings on proposed rules.
I previously served as an attorney for the California Department of Industrial Relations’ Division of Occupational Safety and Health (Cal/OSHA), which gives me a unique insight into the OSHA citation process.
