Terp Law Celebrates Labor Day 2020 with Public Launch

This Labor Day, Terp Law is committed to obtaining justice for workers at a time when they are facing unprecedented challenges. With the launch of this website, potential clients now have a hub where they can learn more about the firm’s services and connect with Principal Attorney Rachel Terp.

Terp Law is a plaintiff-side employment law firm dedicated to advancing civil and economic rights in the workplace. The firm offers legal representation for class-wide wage and hour violations, individual wrongful termination claims, as well as severance review and negotiation. Terp Law represents clients on a contingency-fee basis, and offers a variety of hourly services.

This summer, Terp Law opened for business amidst the worldwide Coronavirus pandemic that continues to expose devastating inequalities in the United States, and the nationwide Black Lives Matter protests that have rallied a broad coalition of Americans to oppose systemic and structural racism. Terp Law stands with the Movement for Black Lives and with workers concerned about the safety and fairness of their workplaces.

Indeed, in the spring, Ms. Terp postponed plans to launch her firm in order to supervise a Coronavirus Job Protection Hotline for the Center for Workers’ Rights (CWR). At CWR, Ms. Terp followed federal, state, and local responses to the COVID-19 crisis in real-time, and advised Californians about their workplace rights within a rapidly-changing legal landscape.

Previously, Ms. Terp counseled employees and represented workers in complex wage and hour class actions as well as individual discrimination, harassment, and whistleblower retaliation claims as a senior associate at Bryan Schwartz Law, a boutique firm in Oakland, California. 

Labor Day is a time to remember that people fought and died for many of the labor and employment protections we have today. Terp Law seeks to ensure the firm’s clients enjoy existing workplace protections and obtain justice when they don’t.
