Nicholas Lansdown represents employers in a wide range of labor and employment matters, with a focus on litigation, compliance counseling, and strategic risk management. He regularly appears before state and federal courts, administrative agencies (EEOC, DLSE, DFEH), and in private arbitration forums.
His practice includes:
- Disability and age discrimination (ADA, ADEA)
- California FEHA compliance and litigation
- Prevailing wage and public works disputes
- Whistleblower retaliation and wrongful termination claims
- Wage and hour issues under the California Labor Code, to include class and PAGA actions
- Leave and accommodation matters under federal and state law
Shortly after joining Littler, Nick successfully litigated a complex case before the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California and defended the judgment on appeal to the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals. He established bad faith litigation at both levels, securing attorneys’ fees from each court, an outcome that reflects his ability to deliver results that are not only favorable but also cost-effective.
Previously, Nick operated a solo practice dedicated exclusively to California employment law. This experience gave him a deep appreciation for the operational realities employers face, and he prides himself on delivering legal advice that is both sound and practical.
