At the Law Offices of Rheuban & Gresen, we look beyond the obvious in providing effective representation to our clients who have been subjected to discrimination, harassment, and retaliation, among other unlawful conduct. For example, in many cases we allege a violation of California Business and Professions Code Section 17200 et seq., variously known as the Unfair Competition Act or the Unlawful Business Practices Act. For further information about whether this state law is applicable to your particular situation, contact the California employee's rights attorneys at the Law Offices of Rheuban & Gresen.
For workers injured by unlawful employment practices or violations of the California Labor Code, the Unlawful Business Practices Act is important because it creates a separate right of recovery against the employer, allows for aiding and abetting liability, and may facilitate the recovery of attorney’s fees.
Because the Unlawful Business Practices Act allows an injured party to sue for any "unfair, unlawful, or fraudulent business act or practice", our unfair business practices attorneys can may include a claim under Section 17200 in lawsuits for such unlawful conduct as wage and hour violations and violation of the California Family Rights Act.
Our objectives in all claims of unlawful conduct in the workplace are twofold: first, we strive to provide the best possible representation for our clients in an honest and ethical manner, and second, we work hard to achieve results which meet or exceed the expectations of our clients. The Unlawful Business Practices Act gives our attorneys a powerful tool to achieve just that.
