James Berry
Partner
Munck Wilson Mandala, LLP
James Berry is a partner of Munck Wilson Mandala’s employment and labor and litigation practice groups, as well as a co-managing partner of the firm’s Los Angeles office. Practicing law for over 30 years, Berry has successfully resolved hundreds of individual employment discrimination and retaliation claims across California and other states.
Berry has developed protocols for clients to respond to employment records requests from former employees, significantly reducing the risk of subsequent litigation and PAGA (Private Attorneys General Act) claims. This forward-thinking strategy helps clients avoid potential legal pitfalls and is a testament to his deep understanding of employment law. Additionally, he has achieved favorable settlements in numerous class actions and PAGA claims, often securing outcomes more favorable than initial mediator proposals.
