Barbara J. Miller handles complex employment litigation for a range of clients, particularly in the retail, technology, financial services, and energy industries. She defends wage and hour class actions as well as a broad range of other employment disputes, from those involving employee proprietary information to harassment, discrimination, retaliation, and whistleblowing. Barbara also provides counsel and internal training on a range of workplace issues including wage and hour compliance, leaves of absence, workforce change, and tailoring incentive plans to meet both business needs and California’s technical wage laws.

Barbara teams with clients on addressing novel employment situations and adapting policies and processes to comply with California’s ever-changing legal landscape. Barbara lectures frequently on a variety of employment law topics, and endeavors to keep clients up to date through regular briefings, trainings, and seminars regarding new employment laws and developments, including wage and hour compliance, leaves of absence, harassment prevention, and protection of proprietary information.

Prior to joining Morgan Lewis, Barbara worked at another international law firm based in Orange County, where she represented private employers in labor and employment law.
