TRITIA MURATA
Partner; Co-Chair, Employment & Labor Group
Morrison Foerster
Tritia Murata is a true star in the California labor and employment market. Her hallmark is her knack for obtaining court victories and developing innovative solutions to strategically dispose of high-exposure wage-and-hour class actions and representative actions brought under the California Labor Code Private Attorneys General Act of 2004 (PAGA).
Murata pursues an aggressive strategy to defeat class certification and has notched successes on behalf of leading clients spanning various industries. She has an impressive track record of defeating certification in wage-and-hour class actions, which continue to be a major concern for employers. She has achieved two of the most significant PAGA decisions since the statute was enacted in 2004. Murata secured a complete defense victory in the first suitable seating case to go to trial since the California Supreme Court’s decision in Kilby v. CVS Pharmacy, Inc.
