Relentless advocates for a more fair work world.

We’re more than just a team of accomplished employment attorneys. We are passionate advocates for workers who deserve better treatment.

With decades of experience, we persist in getting justice for victims of employment discrimination, wage theft, sexual harassment and retaliation, and we also have an unparalleled track record in handling executive transitions and contracts, and defending employees in crisis. 

Empathic listeners, strategic thinkers and fearless fighters, we’ve won millions of dollars in settlements and at trial for our clients and aren’t afraid to take on tough cases. 

The attorneys at Menken Simpson & Rozger have won millions of dollars for our clients in Severance and Separation negotiations, have an extensive practice focused on disability and employee leave law, and have litigated important, groundbreaking civil rights cases.

Our Values and Approach

Insight

Our collective 6+ decades of legal experience means one thing: we have worked with thousands of clients of all backgrounds, fought hundreds of companies, and tried cases in state and federal courts across the state. With our experience comes wisdom. We know the key to any successful client engagement is to listen to their story, quickly figure out their goals, and to craft a narrative that will impact the intended audience. And our insight into what makes the players involved tick — how a certain company might react or behave in response to a legal claim, or how a judge or arbitrator might rule on a key issue — allows us to formulate a strategy designed to achieve your desired outcome.

 

Commitment

Whether it is making ourselves available at all hours for client needs, going the distance in a tough case to vindicate a client’s rights, or spending the time with the client to understand their needs and story, we are fully committed to our clients. All of the firm’s partners began their careers in legal services representing and sticking by clients no matter the claim or accusation. We are programmed to stand up for and stick by our clients — and we are committed to advocating for a more fair work world.

Impact

We go to court. We take cases to trial. We are unafraid to go the distance. This hard-earned reputation gives our clients an advantage in pre-litigation negotiations because employers know that without an early resolution, they will face skilled, experienced attorneys in court. Our litigation experience and excellence has allowed us to quickly obtain substantial settlements in private negotiations. Our associates were all trained at the nation’s top law schools and stand toe to toe with opposing lawyers from white shoe management-side firms. When we are retained, our reputation alone has an impact on how an employer values your case.

 

Versatility

Every client is different, every case is different, every adversary is different. Because of the breadth of our collective experience — from negotiating with companies big and small, to trying cases in state and federal court, to advocating for an economically and racially diverse set of clients — we know how to customize your strategy, think on our feet, and pivot when necessary. Whether it is writing a brief, negotiating a settlement, or arguing in court, we have a diverse team of lawyers who each bring a different set of strengths to a case. And when it comes to fees, we also value flexibility and work with our clients on a fee structure tailored to their needs and the particulars of their matter.
