Christian Bashi

Christian Bashi helps employers navigate complex workplace issues with practical solutions that support their broader business goals and long-term strategy. He represents companies in all aspects of labor and employment law and serves as a trusted partner to in-house counsel and human resources (HR) leaders. Christian is an aggressive advocate with experience defending individual and multiplaintiff claims involving discrimination, retaliation, employment torts, and wage and hour violations in federal and state courts, arbitration, and administrative proceedings.

Christian has defended clients in courts across the country in cases brought under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act, the Age Discrimination in Employment Act (ADEA), the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), the Sarbanes-Oxley Act (SOX), and a patchwork of state and local employment laws. He has second-chaired trials involving claims of retaliation, employment torts, and breach of contract and has represented clients before the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL), and various state human rights divisions.

In addition to his litigation work, Christian conducts sensitive internal investigations and advises employers on compliance risks tied to diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives and environmental, social, and governance (ESG) considerations. His ability to distill complex legal issues into clear, actionable guidance makes him a valuable resource for clients facing high-stakes disputes or reputational risk.

Earlier in his career, Christian served as a federal law clerk. He also maintains an active pro bono practice, representing asylum seekers and advising small not-for-profit organizations on employment matters.
