We are an aggressive law firm making an impact throughout the State of California. Based in the Central Valley, we handle legal work with appearances throughout California. Our reputation as a leading-edge presence in the legal community, combined with our family-like company culture, has allowed us to attract the highest caliber of legal expertise to our growing team. Each year, our partner and associate attorneys support dozens of community-based events and non-profit organizations. Legal education on both a regional and national basis is a hallmark of PKNW and includes business seminars, attorney training sessions and public speaking engagements. Our client list includes national corporations, mid-sized local and regional companies, sole proprietorships, and a broad base of insurance companies and third party administrators. The decision to focus our practice solely on the aggressive defense of both employers and insurance companies resulted from our deeply held belief that a thriving business environment is key to building healthy communities. Quite simply, when we help a corporation stay in business, we keep people working and help communities thrive. This pro-business philosophy, combined with our expertise in the multi-faceted areas of employment law, distinguishes us among law firms. For California’s employers, following a workers’ compensation directive can actually result in both Federal and State law violations that could lead to potential lawsuits. From work injuries to civil injury suits, from hire/fire issues to State and Federal mandates, an increasing number of laws affect the rights and duties of both employers and employees. Our years of expertise translate to a unique understanding of how employment laws impact day-to-day business decisions, and provide the knowledge to advocate to employers.
