Perspectiva General

Stephanie A. Kierig has over a decade of experience and has exclusively practiced labor and employment law in California. Stephanie’s experience lends an understanding of the law that she uses to assist her clients in developing defense strategies.

Prior to joining Littler Stephanie worked at a national firm which focused on employment law, where she expanded her scope of practice to include defense in single-plaintiff and class action employment matters. Stephanie spent her first several years of practice as a traditional labor lawyer, representing unions, public employee associations, and their members before state and federal courts, arbitrators, civil service commissions, the National Labor Relations Board, and the Public Employment Relations Board.

Throughout law school, Stephanie worked as a paralegal and law clerk at a local boutique labor firm, where she second-chaired hearings before administrative agencies, assisted with labor arbitrations, and provided guidance to clients on a variety of employment-related issues.

Prior to law school, she earned a Paralegal Certificate (Business Litigation Specialty) at the University of San Diego in 2011, with High Honors, and a Minor Certificate (Business Administration) at the University of Oregon in 2010.
