Jacob's practice centers on employment litigation in federal and state courts and agencies across the United States. Jacob defends employers against class and collective wage and hour actions, trade secret misappropriation actions, representative actions under California's Private Attorneys General Act, misclassification actions, multijurisdictional employee poaching disputes, class actions under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act, and discrimination/retaliation actions.
