Employment Attorney in Beverly Hills
Counsel for Beverly Hills employees facing discrimination, harassment, or retaliation — and for business owners who want workplace problems handled before they turn into lawsuits.
Beverly Hills is its own city, bordering Century City on the Westside — where Cohen Law Group's office is. Whether you work for a Beverly Hills business or own one, workplace disputes are governed by California law, and the state's protections apply here just as they do anywhere else in California. We represent employees, and we advise employers. Meetings by appointment at our Century City office.
For employees: discrimination, harassment, and retaliation
California law, including the Fair Employment and Housing Act (FEHA), provides strong protections against discrimination and harassment at work based on characteristics such as:
- Race or ethnicity
- Gender or gender identity
- Sexual orientation
- Age (40 and over)
- Disability or medical condition
- Religion or creed
- Pregnancy or childbirth-related conditions
- Marital status
Discrimination is not limited to firing. Lower pay for similar work, denied promotions or training, and refused accommodations for a disability, pregnancy, or religion can all be unlawful. Harassment is unlawful when conduct based on a protected characteristic is severe or pervasive enough to create a hostile or abusive work environment.
Retaliating against someone for complaining about any of this is illegal too. If you were written up, demoted, cut back, or fired after speaking up, the timing matters. Learn more on our employment law page.
For employers: preventing disputes before they start
The firm regularly advises employers on risk mitigation, compliance, workplace policies, employee classification, and internal investigations — helping prevent disputes before they arise while preserving operational efficiency. If an employee has raised a complaint, or you're unsure whether workers are classified correctly, it helps to get advice before decisions are made.

Questions from Beverly Hills employees and employers
Can harassment by a client or customer count?
Yes, it can. Harassment can be committed by supervisors, coworkers, or even third parties, and an employer may be held liable if it fails to prevent or correct it.
I own a business and an employee just complained. What should I do?
Take the complaint seriously, and avoid any action that could look like punishment for raising it — California law prohibits retaliation against employees who report harassment, discrimination, or other violations. A prompt, fair internal investigation and advice before you make employment decisions can help you avoid a larger dispute.
Does the firm represent employees or employers?
Both. Our employment practice advocates for employees facing serious workplace violations and advises employers on compliance and risk. In a consultation, we will discuss your situation and whether we are able to help.
Beyond employment law, the firm also handles business litigation for plaintiffs and defendants, insurance bad-faith claims for policyholders, and serious injury cases.
